Please put the poets
face on the front cover
or as a backdrop on
the first page barred over
by the words.
Already I am
making
dark fringed eyes for this
woman
who has had
a lonely bed since the war.
There are two pieces of rotten chocolate
on the coffee table.
and this one is a
student
of windows watching
raindrops combine and roll
down the glass. He watches trains.
He remembers a woman with gloves.
but I also have this habit
to make poets of those
who throw themselves around
their lives their words
won't hide their stitches.
you know this.
you see it in an eye
before it blinks.
