MAP SHOWER
For Marcia

I want your hair
to cover me with maps
of new places,

so everywhere I go
will be as beautiful
as your hair.

I FEEL HORRIBLE. SHE DOESNâ??T

I feel horrible. She doesnâ??t
Love me and I wander around
The house like a sewing machine
Thatâ??s just finished sewing
A turd to a garbage can lid.

WIDOWâ??S LAMENT
Itâ??s not quite cold enough
to go borrow some firewood
from the neighbors.
