He told me he had spent the afternoon
interviewing students for Art School
Only one, he said,
this boy who brought a large, sealed box –
you put your hands through a couple holes
to feel inside
polythene bags
full of his own shit

After the Earth

After the earth
the manic scent
of summer's bustle

After the silence
enchanting songs
promising

After ruggedness
the sensuous touch
of city madness

Rivercraft

Rivercraft tie to trees
Air, edged by swamp,
slurs with want

As always, hope, like a phantom,
glides from deep into light sky
