Felled
love is fallen upon me
like cutting down a tree
to make better light
with my whole body
I appease my desire
to be nobody
but I see how fanatic tenants
would garden on so little ground
being almost starved

Charmed
a couple of green geese we are
alone with the evening light
thunder and lightning it seems
everywhere else
Wobbly
where we sat close
like the first time
ever on ship
I am come to not know
what to do with
my legs
Pilgrims’ progress
past all fear
we come to a labyrinth
nothing in it
but accidents like dust
falling down over all
the land in pieces
without any other design
but love
Sign language
my own hands talk about me
as full of life as a grave
kill with them
and they go still
love is the trade they never want
Silence lover
I drink her wine
but not her coffee
I am buying love
not an ear
evening comes with few words
to my bed
Distraction
I clog myself with desire
and miss the peak
alone in my barrow
I endeavor to see
give two loves for one
late-night stay
Rock art
love used to live
in the presence of the river
red handprint
Medicine dream
in a dream a doctor
made me drink
any bear may heal
which is to say love
and that being ended
time
To have and to hold
a pair of hands
could love very well
all felt and feel
end and band
how her hands ask
always to marry
always to live
and have 20 other things
Convenience
love if convenient
would be high treason
a peace made on disadvantageous terms
with break-up and feud
a room is the last
enemy to all the world
falling from time
into desire
no hand or pinion
full of consequence
should crowd into
such a hole
Looking back
night calls me to myself
an earful of old pain
two loves have I
and only one pocket
arson is a pretty house
with ingenious chemistry
