Mass Pike, September 2, 2001
(written while driving on the Massachussetts Turnpike,
chauffeur credit given to Yu Chang)
cruise control
a road through
turning leaves
js
buck shot
deer x-ing sign
ht
inserting
the last clove
in the pomander
js
cold lustre
of her moonstone ring
ht
renewing their vows
this time
by proxy
js
the substitute organist
improvises
ht
"Who says
it's quittin' time?
I's the foreman ... "
js
windhover
above the snowmelt
ht
white peonies
absolutely
full bloom
js
a trace of vodka
on the dressing table
ht
phantom pain
from the limb
he lost
js
early to rise
Midsummer Day
