Sample text
There’s so much blood the warm sun walks like Christ upon it. A needle’s eye in his tattered head is losing his life’s essential thread; the crowd kneels down. A siren blows. The man tries to straighten out his body, like a suit of clothes. We see the tailor in his chest And we thank the heart, and nothing else, that patched his head, that he smiles at us and isn’t dead. ■ 13 14 ■ From Early Rain On a Summer Night On a golden boulevard I watch the women: so many flow past me. And their hips rock like little ships that need a mast to go to sea.
Now, the rain, the iron rain, with its little keys is closing all the doors . . and I think we’re all dead. See how the sky sits like a tombstone on the roofs. 20 ■ From Early Rain At My Window Across the street nine boys in the weeds scream, hurling rocks. Blackbirds are headlines overhead. One boy looks at the sun. And I look back at how I stood, under a tree, my hands hot with stones. A squirrel, tail up and balanced on a bough, faced me like a question I couldn’t answer. Here, on this jewel of earth, time tears at the green edge.
But porcupines: they’re very mean to have such spines. ■ 9 10 ■ From Early Rain Once, in Autumn Once, in autumn, I saw the sun pause in the wrinkles of a tree like passion on an old man’s face. My father, armed with shears, came out and trimmed the little shrubs to death. And always, in a wild backyard my father stepped upon his flesh (those blind galoshes struck the earth) and tough as trucks, his hands ran loose killing the plants they couldn’t name. A lawn—or passion—if ignored may rise around a house like fire.
