"My Mother The War" She borders the pavement Flanks avenues Parades pass white glove attended by My mother the war She'll raise a shaft Lift a banner Toss a rose My mother the war She's made every effort To salvage the few Bought fourteen liberty bonds My mother the war...

"More Than This" I could feel at the time There was no way of knowing Fallen leaves in the night Who can say where they're blowing As free as the wind And hopefully learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning More than this - there is nothing More than this - tell me one...

"Maddox Table" The legs of Maddox kitchen tables My whole life twisted on a lathe In a foreman's torrent My first English was "faster boy if you want your pay" Barking commands Loud and simple We could all obey Then I was forever pulling silvers Rubbed the sawdust always Deeper...

"Love Among The Ruins" The sky was falling, heaven was calling. When danger crashes, rose from the ashes. Like two statues hidden inside ancient rock, we were praying for the secrets to unlock. And when the sun had turned its back on us, in the dark our love kept track of us, pushed...

"Lilydale" Come as we go far away From the noise of the street Walk a path so narrow To a place where we feel at ease Some think it is haunting To be drawn to the cemetery ground As we There's a stillness here Thankful found Child's pose angelic A stone lamb at her feet Part...

"Like The Weather" Color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey. Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again. Shiver in my bones, just thinking about the weather. Quiver in my lip as if I might cry. Well by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe. Lately it...

"Katrina's Fair" Greta's cedar hope chest Is full of pamphlets Glass shelves of romantic vignettes A journal laced with sedimentary prose Norma gathers and collects vintage photoplays Hair combs valentines Lillian allows the animals to scratch Leather crack Mail collect in the box...

"Just As The Tide Was A-Flowing" On one morning In the month of may When all the birds Were singing I saw a lovely maiden stray Across the fields at break of day She softly sung her roundelay The tide flows in The tide flows out Twice every day returning Her cheeks were red Her eyes were...

"Jubilee" He fills the flower vases Trims the candle bases Takes small change from the poor box Tyler has the key He takes nail and hammer To tack up the banner of felt scraps glued together reading, "Jesus Lives in Me" Alone in the night he mocks the words of the preacher: "God is...

"Jezebel" To think of my task is chilling. To know I was carefully building the mask I was wearing for two years, swearing I'd tear it off. I've sat in the dark explaining to myself that I'm straining too hard for feelings I ought to find easily. Called myself Jezebel. I don't believe...

"In The Quiet Morning" In the quiet morning There was much despair And in the hours that followed No one could repair That poor girl Tossed by the tides of misfortune Barely here to tell her tale Rolled in on a sea of disaster Rolled out on a mainline rail She once walked tight at my...

"If You Intend" If you intend to live again, then open your eyes and don't pretend you're feeling there's nothing worth believing. God, if you persist you'll die like this, and wither in the midst of your first season, cut down with no reason. How can you be so near and not see...

"I'm Not The Man" It crawls on his back, won't ever let him be. Stares at the walls until the cinder blocks can breathe. His eyes have gone away, escaping over time. He rules a crowded nation inside his mind. He knows that night like his hand. He knows every move he made. Late shift...

"How You've Grown" "My, how you've grown." I remember that phrase from my childhood days too "Just wait and see." I remember those words and how they chided me, when patient was the hardest thing to be. Because we can't make up for the time that we've lost, I must let these memories...

"Hidden In My Heart" I see the leaves of autumn changing falling turning what was green I see a door standing open, open to curiosity we could be together tear it all apart would you ever notice what was hidden in my heart heartstrong do we ever listen closely as willows start to weep...

"Hey Jack Kerouac" Hey Jack Kerouac, I think of your mother and the tears she cried, they were cried for none other than her little boy lost in our little world that hated and that dared to drag him down, her little boy courageous. who chose his words from mouths of babes got lost in the...

"Headstrong" To your common sense firm arguments I won't listen to your voice of reason trying to change my mind. I mind my feelings and not your words. Didn't you notice I'm so headstrong even when I know I'm wrong? Take this to your heart and into your head now: before you waste your...

"Hateful Hate" In the dark night a giant slumbered untouched for centuries 'til awakened by a white man's cry: "This is the Eden I was to find." There were lands to be charted and to be claimed for a crown, when a hero was made by the length he could stay in this dangerous land of...

"Gun Shy" I always knew that you would take yourself far from home as soon as, as far as you could go. By the 1/4 inch cut of your hair and the Army issue green, for the past eight weeks I can tell where you've been. For I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me there was...

"Groove Dub" Imitate that soured old song There is no individuality Only guises Shades of Nonconformity There is no individuality Selling vantage points Low rate There is no individuality Questions ancient No words claimed Perform motions borrowed Thoughts following Ima tima...
