Blues singer
my office is in the ear
with any midnight voice
oiled and drunk
trouble sings
in a melancholy method
and the one bed is for her

Hello darkness
in the dark street two women
carry a coffin between them
in my dark thought
no god is present
in the dark O touch and see
a music without rules
Apophasis
no creed
pleased me like music
though my own road
is a wound
I saw mortality touching all things
but the night
not knowing is an art—
a black one
The Other Coltrane
when the new moon’s still a sliver
pale fingernail against
the blackboard
& you hear
the shriek of wheels gone
slightly off-true with the track
ninety-nine cars heaped high with coal
hurtling by in the darkness
don’t it make you shiver
that night train
Adam and Eve
in bed we expect
a great still music
we are the original text
that others quote imperfectly
this old news
of our loss
Late bloomers
setting sun with ravens
a most admirable music
we fell into rare life
and then to bed
Bodily questions
in the book of the body
is there no other writing true as romance
which is true and which false
of two children perfectly made
joined at their bellies
and only one pair of legs
what work will make us fear
the consequence of it
how is holding you
so large a music
Red-lined
a red line
cost me my home
with all the evening music
great as a prayer
Fishing
where I fish
where the fish course and eat
we fall into greater order
into a music
Talismanic
stone and stone
sitting secret as cards
one calling me to ore
one the settled music of my life
Voted out
I am going without speaking
the doors to the park sing old
broken notes
Foggy
all is one in fog
a fine wool
the grove like a riff
half-way to the ear
