And in the winter

the snow flattens things further

a two-dimensional version

of landscape, a map of itself,

flattens everything around it

flattens even the sky.

POEM FOR THE PUTTING IN OF THE NEW CARPET

Findlay, Ohio

This day’s a green one, breezed, wet with air.

I sit by the window, wonder

if I will become kind again

once the carpet is in.

I am far from home.

I am in a house I have bought I have

come far.

*

We put up a painting we have bought,

a painting with pieces of figures taken from Courbet

and spliced to other figures

one’s part of a head that turns into

part of a hand that turns into—who knows?
