3 Poems
The whole world is all there is all
all I remember is
a sign post and
an iron wall, a phone
booth without a phone
and a yellow school bus
going by between two other
yellow school buses
Head Aches after Giacometti
to maintain a head
alive
after it is severed in a frame
headthe perfect living head
(bronze, plaster, paints)
heads pencilled and erased,
tense, effaced,
tense
backward beginning
with the line, beginning with
the erased line.just heads
the same just heads
maintained alive by hands
now deadheads maintained alive by hands
***
In the snow,
the focal point is always
several pieces of dog shit.
