1. The period of the central rain
A bit of libel
another desperate moment,
the arrival of the caravan,
a midnight quatrain
in the days of the central rain.
A chief in his own wady
killed
his women fled to other men;
his chattel no more.
No man should hold
more than he can protect
when the poles of the house
are rotten.
from the rain
the ever present rain
that brings the ever rising shore.
2. In His Own Words
Once when rung
as peach has it
when girls giggle
the boys say
let us stone them
but then run away
honoring nobodaddy.
“Let him who has ears
listen:
when the bee disappears
the flowers die.
A spring without blossom
3. The Return of Planet X
I was watching a cowboy show
on channel 8.
We had no color dreams.
Roar of the world
the buzz of the leaking whore,
that man with greasy hair
in a silk suit
selling St. Christopher
on city streets.
One of the cowboys got shot.
probably one of the sons of Katie Elder
the one that was hiding in Aton of Ra.
The Spirit that is,
the Third
Thing is,
I think she might be right
talking to the Ixians
in the dark night.
