  精美英文小詩:Lake Como

  The searchlight of a February moon

  at the end of the street

  bare trees black railing

  an eastern star set like a pearl atop a steeple

  that shadows the doorway

  where the one-armed card shark squats

  shuffling his deck on a milk crate

  waiting for the No. 6 bus to discharge

  the off-duty cop the seamstress

  the drunken mechanic and the clerk on crutches

  who pauses before his building to watch

  the mechanic lose three dollars at blackjack

  and then stiffly ascends the five flights

  to his two rooms on a shaftway

  hanging his coat on a hook

  and sitting down at the table

  on which this morning he placed

  a soup bowl and spoon

  a tin of crackers and the crossword

  puzzle he had been laboring over

  beneath the gaze of his late wife

  her color photograph propped up in a small frame

  a young woman in a boxy dress and felt cap

  waving shyly by the edge of a lake

  where over her shoulder beneath a clear sky

  a sailboat rides the wind

  passengers on the polished deck

  gazing at the glowing mountain peaks

  the cypresses lining the shore

  and the pink palazzi with ancient gardens

  these men and women in white

  who seem to live upon the water

  gliding among themselves oblivious to strife

  and all else that wears a body down

  some sipping from crystal goblets

  others just drinking in the light

  精美英文小詩:My Psychic

  has a giant hand diagrammed in front of her place

  on West Tennessee.

  It towers above a kudzu hill as if

  to offer a cosmic How!

  as in Hello! from a long

  way off, as in how

  she already knows

  the sundry screwed up ways a day

  can go days before

  I park my wreck on the hill again beside

  her white Mercedes.

  O little slice of Lebanon!

  O cedar scented

  cards fanned like feathers

  of a Byzantine peacock!

  Tell me again how I might have been a fine lawyer,

  that I'll raise four kids in Tallahassee,

  how I married-it's true-on my lunch break-Yez

  she took you to lunch okay a zeven year lunch ha ha!

  Incense. Mini-shrine.

  A wagon train of chihuahuas snoozing by her slippers.

  You have anxious about a furniture… I do.

  But lately I've grown cold,

  unconsoled by her extrasensory view.

  I think no need to speak-across

  the black tabletop, I don't want to know

  if I'll find a bright city,

  a room by the river,a love

  I will recognize

  by her dragonfly

  tattoo. O narrative of ether!

  O non-refundable

  life facts! say that what happens may not matter,

  or that it matters as any

  story does when two fresh lovers

  embrace the old pact

  ***her bra on the chair,

  his socks in the kitchen*** that says

  their love is level,

  unfabled, new. Level with me,

  tell me why the dogs on the floor,

  little moon fed hounds of Delphi, seem so over it,

  so done with the fleas of destiny.

  Maybe that's the right attitude,

  no need to ask why I'm here on a perfectly blue Friday,

  content with what the thin air,

  what the dust motes in the light say near the high window.

  I should've learned that music long ago

  O soundless number!

  O jukebox of being that the dogs dream to!

  No faux crystal ball,

  no tea leaves or terrace in the nether

  reaches of my palm

  will make her answers

  less like hocus pocus in a purchased dark.

  It's time to pay, to drive away

  from telepathic altitudes, to say adieu

  to why love ends. How

  How a heart opens again.

  Why anything is true.
