The Madness of Our Polity

Being savages, we learn to bow and smile

And choke behind our showing teeth

Those howls that echo from the fields of sleep.

I saw this. On the prairies where I lived

a boy who put a needle in a gopher’s eye

knew more of civil law than all my friends.

What other emblems do you need?

The Speaking Earth

grandfathers fall into it

their mighty beards muffled in grass

and admirals, the sea-sounding men

lovers fall into the earth

like rain on wet dark bodies
