LEAVING MONOLITHOS

They were cutting the spring barley by fistfuls

when we came. Boys drove horses and mules over it

all day in threshing pits under the powerful sky.

They came from their white village on the horizon

for tomatoes in June. And later for grapes.

Now they are plowing in the cold wind. Yesterday

I burned my papers by the wall. This morning I look

back at the lone, shuttered farmhouse. Sun rising

over the volcano. At the full moon above the sea.

DIVORCE

Woke up suddenly thinking I heard crying.

Rushed through the dark house.

Stopped, remembering. Stood looking

out at the bright moonlight on concrete.
