Summer in a Small Town
When the men leave me,
they leave me in a beautiful place.
It is always late summer.
When I think of them now,
I think of the place.
And being happy alone afterwards.
This time it’s Clinton, New York.
I swim in the public pool
at six when the other people
have gone home.
The sky is grey, the air hot.
I walk back across the mown lawn

poem I wish I'd written
THE LANGUAGE
Locate I
love you some-
where in
teeth and
eyes, bite

fill, fill.
I heard words
and words full
of holes
aching. Speech
is a mouth.

If my daughter wants to be a journalist, an actress, a politician, or a tennis champion, looks ( Read more... )
