the hiss of ebbing wings,
a large vocal ensemble
flipping magic, and baby
birds noisome in bushes,
the red and white
and mauve, a bit of kitty
litter thrown in for resonance, a bunch
of fake roses raking the mirror in Mary’s home,
a bit of oatmeal on the floor for dancing,
she pouts and begins,
the birds hissing for flavor, her heels
scratching, her arms wide,
the Boswells’ echoing hello
with early swing, a touch of nostalgia
in the alley, and the starlings rise up as one,
skimming the eaves.
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
