In church she fiddles fidgets
Whistles words where children
Should be seen not heard
And chocolate on her face . . .

Between the sides
Is my side.
The flip side

Beginnings
Turning
Round.
Friends

The winnings
Love has

Be the howl of a dog then the roiling
Black column is evil and . . .

And you look so fine
Nothing out of time
Out of tune
The rhyme’s remembering
Too soon.
I’m watching you
And your eyes turn gray

For a walk” in the wind and the rain.

Red is the light behind my weary eyes
Though sky is blue
Though sun is white
And shining
Red is the light behind my eyes.
Red is the hand that heaves and pulls the stone

And moon’s pale snow is yellow ed
By the haze over the green .

The sky turn slow from . . .
