3rd and 4th Selections

The life is torn.

After the violent explosion,

the bits

float away,

downstream,

dreamily, slowly,

while you stand

watching.


Unreturnable.

The loved life -

the solid-seeming life,

the future plans.

They look beautiful,

the torn pieces,

floating away.

--Deanna Hopper



a train whistle dies

far away in the night . . . . . . silence

the first bird awakens
