Saint Alice

We named another star for Alice
We walked the log in balance
Slipped on the moss and floundered
And cursed the moonlight around us
All missed the lake mist rising
As we were quietly surmising
Before the sun started rising
We saw the ghost of Alice
Alice sweet, Alice of cinnamon
Sugar, flour, and apple too
She danced better than me and you
The last one, alone in the morning dew
Nine out of ten it's a Carolina Wren
Or nuthatch or peewee we squint to see
Smoke in the air; you put it there
And you are the ghost of Alice
Alice sweet, Alice of cinnamon
Sugar, flour, and apple too
She danced better than me and you
The last one, alone in the morning dew

Forfeit
02:42
|

The city forfeited the stars
For what? (And solitude too)
A horn of plenty
Fermented and sticky
The city clock, wrong
since the beginning of time
And a bomb sniffing rat
Tap dancing to fragile music
In the only green square
Bare feet barely there
a way to mix colors
like fire from childhood

Wrong Windows
03:23
|

Arrived at cricket dusk,
with travel tinnitus,
Still road wobbly
Acorn staccatos,
gully washer cleans.
(So still yourself)
The coffee gets stronger
the longer it sits
--but I do not
Have we long looked out
the wrong windows?
Winced at city sounds?
Dark under cabin finds:
old cane fishing pole,
minnow bucket, ancient
Certain times of year
...just a river here,
other seasons a lake
There is a great white bird
in Laurel County; an elegant bird
just watching--
As I sink-step, muddy-searching
for colored glass, and
driftwood branches
Avoid curious coyotes.
Pocket a knife.
Sleep well and tight.
