  精美英文小詩:Lake Como

The searchlight of a February moon

at the end of the street

bare trees black railing

an eastern star set like a pearl atop a steeple

that shadows the doorway

where the one-armed card shark squats

shuffling his deck on a milk crate

waiting for the No. 6 bus to discharge

the off-duty cop the seamstress

the drunken mechanic and the clerk on crutches

who pauses before his building to watch

the mechanic lose three dollars at blackjack

and then stiffly ascends the five flights

to his two rooms on a shaftway

hanging his coat on a hook

and sitting down at the table

on which this morning he placed

a soup bowl and spoon

a tin of crackers and the crossword

puzzle he had been laboring over

beneath the gaze of his late wife

her color photograph propped up in a small frame

a young woman in a boxy dress and felt cap

waving shyly by the edge of a lake

where over her shoulder beneath a clear sky

a sailboat rides the wind

passengers on the polished deck

gazing at the glowing mountain peaks

the cypresses lining the shore

and the pink palazzi with ancient gardens

these men and women in white

who seem to live upon the water

gliding among themselves oblivious to strife

and all else that wears a body down

some sipping from crystal goblets

others just drinking in the light

  精美英文小詩:My Psychic

has a giant hand diagrammed in front of her place

on West Tennessee.

It towers above a kudzu hill as if

to offer a cosmic How!

as in Hello! from a long

way off, as in how

she already knows

the sundry screwed up ways a day

can go days before

I park my wreck on the hill again beside

her white Mercedes.

O little slice of Lebanon!

O cedar scented

cards fanned like feathers

of a Byzantine peacock!

Tell me again how I might have been a fine lawyer,

that I'll raise four kids in Tallahassee,

how I married-it's true-on my lunch break-Yez

she took you to lunch okay a zeven year lunch ha ha!

Incense. Mini-shrine.

A wagon train of chihuahuas snoozing by her slippers.

You have anxious about a furniture… I do.

But lately I've grown cold,

unconsoled by her extrasensory view.

I think no need to speak-across

the black tabletop, I don't want to know

if I'll find a bright city,

a room by the river,a love

I will recognize

by her dragonfly

tattoo. O narrative of ether!

O non-refundable

life facts! say that what happens may not matter,

or that it matters as any

story does when two fresh lovers

embrace the old pact

(her bra on the chair,

his socks in the kitchen) that says

their love is level,

unfabled, new. Level with me,

tell me why the dogs on the floor,

little moon fed hounds of Delphi, seem so over it,

so done with the fleas of destiny.

Maybe that's the right attitude,

no need to ask why I'm here on a perfectly blue Friday,

content with what the thin air,

what the dust motes in the light say near the high window.

I should've learned that music long ago

O soundless number!

O jukebox of being that the dogs dream to!

No faux crystal ball,

no tea leaves or terrace in the nether

reaches of my palm

will make her answers

less like hocus pocus in a purchased dark.

It's time to pay, to drive away

from telepathic altitudes, to say adieu

to why love ends. How

How a heart opens again.

Why anything is true.
