Three Short Lyrics

Memory

Go slow go slow go slow go slow,

with full round voice she said.

After her sphere of influence,

what shakes down crazily—

That golden haze of retrospect,

those trees too green for apes.

Morning Phrases

The boy next door or down the street.

Frost on the mouse’s corpse, on the leaf.

Pulled off in the boxcar. Grey Goose, neat.

(Sentimentality: defense against mourning: changes bitter to sweet.)

To You, Muse

Snowdrops

spare and small.

Sparrows easy to stare at. Un-

bearableness, what else?
