My poetry is often good
Because my marriage is often bad
Please protect my wife
Sweet Sir Galahad

Peace comes dropping slow
Grateful for relief
Seattle in the snow
Years of restless grief

I pray for the animals
The Eagle and the Hawk
The spider and the bat
Tea for two to talk

Toledo to East Lansing
Dr. Robert Coles
Flush. Hoot. The Giver.
Things Not Seen and Holes
