IN WHICH WILL BE FOUND WHAT IS SET FORTH THEREIN

1/2 a Poem for David Bromige













(San Jose to Louisville -- 1989)

No one can tell you
Not to listen


With half an eye to fate
Another
Half occluded

Any one had

Half a heart
Would hear
What snow amounts to
Above a city's profits

An attendant
Face angled into light as
She lifts into heaven
Ahead

[She loves to hear him
Whisper "solipsism" in her ear]

Pressure we share
Attendant upon
Arising

A mother draws
Four of each for
Her two children
Who persist
In saying "seven"



Sentences take more time

As our shadow
Across snow
Flying etches
