Nantucket is an island is off the coast of Massachusetts.
The back yard at TerraTorrey:
I stayed at the Hodge's house.
Uncle Phil at Sankaty Head,
Aunt Leslie,
& my cousin, Megan.
Here are three short poems I wrote while traveling in Asia in April:
//--
friends, rusty tractors
asleep in warm grass. other friends,
all old cars & one blue
truck, with a bent nose gearshift,
some white flowers on the sticky leather,
empty, passenger seat.
//--
a secret chicken stalks tigers in the rain forest.
trees crash down. is it an elephant? no, a clumsy chicken.
//--
bugs.
insect love,
jelly-sweet blood.
brittle, twitching sex. the pitch, pinching, a harmonic.
float away dazzled in beams of sunlight
and hungry, land in a German boy's hair--
suck the color from his blue eyes.
think, "forward."
many legs shuttle me efficiently.
I don't sweat even in this heat
and rain bounces off my shell in a pleasing way.
I just became part of a stone.
