In the Home of the Dead Man
In the home of the dead man
the lights stay on till midnight
like toppled sand dunes
beneath a red sky
a flock of blackbirds.
A felt hat left behind
by the last visitor
coffee rank
as the darkened armpits
of men wearing white shirts.
With the greatest ease this afternoon
we launched a boat into black waters
and cried: âSwim!â
In the home of the dead man
a bed is missing.
So is a wooden stake from the yardâ
details nobody has noticed.
Gone too are the stars
the shepherd once with his crook
drove across the sky
to keep them away
from gardens and houses.
