A Poem About Resistances


Wasp shadows dance in my smoke.

Flitting wings break grey blue streams in lined shadow

over Sunday night Charleston.

The hazed out slats of the porch rail are

a fence, for me and the statue darkness. Both of us

kept in, kept out.

Here is hesitation in the sharp draw of a cigar.

This is caution, dumb and worried,

silent among the wasps.

  2. I MISS YOU. And yes I did - but Skype is better anyway!
