I don’t like camping
They made us do that when
I was in the army

A bent street sign the insane man’s eyes
It could be the site for something a bare hill
Just beyond the prison wall a wall of trees
Dancing to sounds from the Big Band Era a pair of midgets
Out of the fog’s whiteness silence
Unslept, the cool breeze on my eyelids
Alone in a house with children the slowly falling dusk
Along the roadside
torn-up paper in the grass
is morning-glories

a new
anthology I learn
of his passing
his brother
concerned
for days
on the page
before me in
the old anthology
went for a walk
left his keys his phone
his pills
said yes
once to one of
my poems
“Is that from your
technique or the toughness
of your mouth?”
your death
attributed to
bird-watching
a collection
of flowers that’s
all it means
his last photo
he looks younger
than me
1962-2014
