I claim
in the
song
place
not
from
doorway
one
earth
poetry is now parted
45
I'm droning dreary and dry
I'm loose and I'm this-ways walking
I'm widow-wilt in your head
I am wire eagle with them
with news along the way then
dulled duelled and broken
amid more yen
when was Merlin a courteous pen
price in words was a shallow shaman
try where a big gun was brandished
during when and why my son went
82
alone at the end
alone lost
heir of ragweed
in rough seed
in the crowsnest
in the frighteners
burnt whiteness
of drunkenness
and bright talk
nothing warmed
in grieving
in snowstorm
a story told
story so eager
of fair anger
keener the danger
