Morning triptych #1
In Connecticut on April 22, 2009 at 11:21 am
Whatever your mirror tells you, morning and evening
Are farther always than your wish for them.
Light years to the nearest star, the atoms of lightning,
A halo about the sun or moon foretelling storm —
These are not matters for reverie or kiss…
When you have faced your wish sufficiently
Is not your image but your history.

Ice cream triptych

Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month’s newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.
