First years on the Saskatchewan prairie my grandparents lived in a house they built
from the packing cases that had carried their all
to keep them from fifty below and a hundred above

244th Birthday of the USA
TEMPLE MOUNT
Seven Christian sects
can fight for a hundred years
on who has the right to wash a window
Seeming so in love with the questions
that any answer is the death of the beloved
FOR THE POETRY
The ups and downs of loving you
may grind me up before we’re through
And my friends see a victim, namely me
but then again it just might be
that I’m only in it
for the poetry
