Gravity
I'm watching things fall—
a laugh from the other room,
a letter, released from its pile
Her Music
the room is filled
with god rays,
or there's a dark rose bud
blooming in a tall glass vase
The Wind the Wind
Storm thugs are vandalizing
the neighbourhood, I can hear them
throwing things
The snow has stopped
poor poet watching
as beauty slumps away
