Poems
May 2013
iris
Your eye
is the single thing.
I will fill it
with summer weeds
little stalks
no wrinkles
weighed with rain, like lungs of June.
I will fill it
with the hush of grass
swollen
with sun
your quiet lips like prayers, on my tongue.
You must never meet
puckered soil
wasted stems
no sickness
in this summer age.
Your eye will never fill
with these
trembling
wringing hands--
this ceiling without a star.
I will care for you.
