Poetry from NHI publications


THE MISSIVE OF Q
Arriving late in the afternoon
for rehearsal one evening in Berne,
caustic chemicals
spilled
from the roof
split
the alley behind the hall,
loosening
millions of miles of neurons
indoors.

Longshoreman Blue
addressed
the in at tent ive audience
in the dock hall,
quoting
an impish million
air source
amid
dangerously dangling crates
of frozen crab from Sevastopol.
