Two Poems

Millhouse Decay

foster run
millhouse decay—
slumbering in the attic with a chair
resting in its resting place

hollowed out beams—
in the night
like a turbid dance—
sit heavy on your swollen walls

and even there there is something
spoiled if not
revamped trickling
down the spine of your heart and eye and into the corner stained clear with that insipid grin


"--"

tolls
the whole
way down

and not once
in this case
have I found you

lying
in the leaves
your bantering

tongue wrapped
around a tree
you sweltering

talariaoftime
buried
you tristesse

taketurns
taking turns
and give up
