�5:37 a.m.
I share the dawn

with rain and unsleeping birds
as the moon burns my lips
as she flicks the last ash of night on my tongue
and settles cold and full
solemnly implanted in my belly
my bedsprings call to sleep
and echo pink
crying when whistles of lightning
flashed veined with silver
iust as I can't close my eyes
on this unshared beauty
that tumbles alone with me
in my grandmother's nightgown

�TO GET RID OF THE WIFE WHOSE CONTINUED EXISTENCE BORED HIM, HE
INVEIGLED HER INTO A DESERT SPOT, SHOT HER FOUR TIMES, AND THEN, AS

OR
EGGS

I lust couldn't tell her
That I didn't order my eggs
Sunny-side up.
She dashed back to the pick-up window
Before I even had the chance
To mention it.

Well, if I did say something,
She'd probably get upset
And start to cry or something.
She's probably new here.
And the boss would see her crying
Over my eggs
And come over and say,
"What's the problem here?!"
And she'd end up getting fired
Because l'm picky.

Hell. I hate eggs this way.

I really should have said something.

But maybe she woulda gotten angry,
And whip my plate off the table
And 5 minutes later
Throw it back with two little black thingies
Flipped-over
"Just the way you like them, SIR!"
Damn. They're cold now too . .

.

"Excuse me, sir. ls everything okay?"

"Oh! yes Miss, everything's iust fine.
May I have another cup of coffee?"

�RETURNING FOR MOTHER
This spring morning

looking into the mirror,
my mouth curls

into a firm fist.
I deny resembling you.
My hair doesn't grow

past my waist,
spilling down

into snow.
When you come out
of your Vermont winters,
your ends are twisted tight

with

ice.

I am ten,
gripping the cabinet.

You turn,

a black eye swollen,
bruised by your husband.
My hands grasp table edges,
claws clutched rigid.

ln the yard
of this crumbled house
from which I've grown
our bush is a broken cage

of branches,
your red mouth gapes
with a trap's teeth.

�A SONG FOR EMTLY

-

Dear Mr. Pound,
I suppose you've heard it all before
from pubescent little girls
with sapphire eyes of afternoons in winter
and rolling hills of pony-tail gold
as when they're first aware of a stallion's mare
and surrender to a shadowy blur,
an icon that looms in their minds.

But here's another thing Zetetikos,
Those ftolemaic whispers
can coax even whiskers
from grimy plowmen's faces
that never reveal
but one conscious wheel
and rather seek to conceal
like stone and stained glass
a violence about and within.
What are you looking for?
Whom did you seek
as you trudged through the reek of bones,
of ash strewn bones?
Your very own troubadors found out your fears
in an instant, in a magical age
and sullen though they were
they had never sung,
would never sing
a music of the spears.
William ttlondlak

Excerpt From Threnody of a Virgin part
(The Miscarriage)

Glory be to the King
The Queen is Ravished
Death be to the Sinners
All is Red . . . all is red
. . . the blood of babies.

The Birds . . . the blackbirds
Fly over me
The lost souls search the graves
For the songs of dead children.

�UNTITLED
The half-light of early morning filtered through the scrap of curtain at the one window,
casting a pall over the single-room hut. Maura stirred into wakefulness but didn't open
her eyes. She was accustomed to the constant gnawing in her stomach, knew the pain as
an old enerly' and the cold, too, was becoming familiar since they'd sold the last of their
blankets but one, to buy food. As she lay on the straw tick she struggled against the
hunger-induced lethargy, pulling the thin blanket closer about her. Somethi-ng in her
head was trying to become a thought. Something was different, somehow. wrrl't, wnat
was it? Cold. Something cold. where was lan? Gone for fuel? yes, he'd build a turf fire
and then slip under the blanket and warm her with his strong, hard body. lan. oh, God,
she knew. Without opening her eyes she knew and the unfoimed thought crashed into
full truth, unbearable reality.
lan lay still beside her, cold and emaciated. Maura stretched out her fingers to touch
him, but she knew he was dead. Her gesture ended in clutching the blanket iloser to her.
"Soon, then, for me, too," she thought. she didn't open her eyes, didn't want to look
at
lan. She couldn't bear to see that pathetic head with its thick, dead auburn curls. She
didn't want to see the barren room that had once been warm and bright. lt hurt her head
tothink of it . . . every stick of furniture, every dish and pot, everyth-ing they possessed,
sold for food. Costly food, that wasn't enough to save their little ones. First one, then the
other, shrivelingto nothingalmost as she watched. oh, gracious Father, bless my little
Ann, and Timmy. And my lan.
Soon, soon she would follow. Nothing could be done. She would just lie here and wait
for death to come to her. lt was suddenly a pleasant thought. she triea to say a ,,Hail
Mary" but was asleep again before she finished. "Blessed is the fruit . . . ." She dreamed
of great baskets of apples and pears in her mother's kitchen. Mama was there, her face
red and moist from the heat of her cook stove. And lan was sitting smoking his favorite

clay pipe, his legs stretched out to the warmth of the fire, h-is feet resting on a
three-legged stool on the hearth. And there were her two brothers . . . Toby and Stephen
. . . it was all so clear. They were all there, laughing at one of pa's yarns. A thick potato
soup bubbled on the stove and there were biscuits as big as sauceis and a tub of sweet
butter.

Maura was slicingfruit intoa bowl, thick luicy crescents tumbling from her hands. As
they fell into the bowl they became tiny white babies, growing, clirn'oing out of the bowl
and into her lap. "oh, mama, I'm going to have lots of bibies,';she said ind she began
to
eat them, one by one and they were sweet and the iuice ,oiled down her chin and
over

her fingers and her father roared with laughter and blew away, while her mother
shriveled up and disappeared in the smoke fiom the cookstove. Her brothers yelled
at
h.er and the room changed shape, filled with smoke, burned her throat.
she awoke. This
time she opened her eyes.
The sun was streaming into the room now, dust motes sparkling and dancing in
the
light. The hearth was cold and ashes were spread across the floor b! 6e oownoraft
from
the chimney. She could still taste the smoke from her dream. Sheihought she heard
a
thrush singing and tried to think what month it was. She tried to remember when it was
that they had lain down to die. There was no discussion, no decision, simply an end to
food and moneyand nothingelse to sell. And then thefire burned out and neither
ofthem
had the strength to go out looking for fuel. When was it that the f ire went
out? lt seemed
important that she remembered. She couldn't. Did lan talk to her last night?"She
was
sure he had. There was a sickening odor in the.air, familiar and disgusting. Sne tried
to
think, what is it? what is it? Then she realized, it was the potatosline rotten, rotting,
failed potatos. She remembered looking out over the fields . . . when? Surely it was
only
two or three days ago . . . they were usually deep, bright green at this time, promising
rich harvest. But not this year. Nor last year either. shl was remembering no* .-nd

stench. She'd never have believed anything could smell so foul, nor . . . smoke again. She
knew she was awake, but it was like her dream. How could there be smoke?
Yes, there was thick smoke now, and she thought she could hear f ire crackling nearby.
She was shaken by a series of convulsions. The "burners" were there. Of course. Fear of
plague was greater than fear of starvation. So many died, and the living too weak to move
the dead into the street. When the hungry times were bad like this, the burners would
come and burn everything. . . houses, bodies, all. "Oh, God, am I going to burn? Please,
God, it wasn't my fault the children died. I did the best I could. And lan, Lord, he tried, he
did. Holy Mary, save me, give me strength to get up, to get out of here." She was sure she
could hear the fire in the thatch above her head. "Mother of God, help me, please, don't
let me burn." She was crawling now, sobbing a tearless litany, "help me, help me."
She wasoutside. Smokeand fire. . . men'svoices. . . yelling. . . .
"Help me, help me." She kept crawling, over the dirt and stones, toward the men.
Someone running toward her.
"My god, Jack, there's one here that's alive yet. I thought you said they was all dead?
Come on woman, we'll see to ye'. Here now, it's goin' to be all right."
Maura looked at the man's face. She didn't know him. He was saying something to her
but the words wouldn't come together in her head. And then he was lifting her, carrying
her away from the fire, talking to her like she was a child. He set her down in a wagon,
wrapped her in blankets, gave her some tea from a flask under the seat. Then she began
to cry. No sobs now, no sound at all came from her, but the tears flowed and would not
stop.

SISTERS AND THE RAIN

I remember summers ago, years ago
When my sisters in their shorts
Would sit on the sidewalk
When the afternoon showers came.
They would get up later
And see the dry outlines
Of their legs on the ground
And become amused.

THE NIGHT SHTFT NURSE
The nurse

ln tight-white clothes
Clacking her Doctor Scholled heels
Down a checkerboard hallway

At 3 o clock in the morning.
It took her 4 years
To get her B.S. in Nursing,
And another t9 to get where she is now,
Which is at 3 o'clock in the morning,
Clacking towards a blinking red light
Above room 334
ln which an 89-year-old woman
Has just shit her guts out

ln her bed
And would like the sheets changed.

�FOR A FRIEND

The house is silent
heavy with breathing and the echo of rain,
noiseless sound, muted and ripe
like a hollowed pumpkin or a dimpled,
purple-black eggplant in Autumn.
The raindrops run from the sky, eager
to meet the open-armed embrace of the delicate grass;
on my back, eyes to the clouds,
the ground is sky and the inverted rain
falls up to meet it,
wet kisses for the dripping grass, which stands quivering,
open-mouthed, black humus giving off the smell
of unused graves to the heavy air.
Cool grey rocks - a throne
covered with a tapestry of green and edged with
fallen sticks instead of ermine;
above these, piled to the bottom of the sun,
other rocks fit awkwardly together
like the arthritic fingers of an old woman,
and in one of the crevices
sleeps a sogry pack of Marlboros.
Civilization had crept into the fissures.
Darting in amongst those rocks we laughed
as they dared us to climb;
a violet, plucked from the stream's bank,

shouted from the whiteness of your breast pocket and
tried to make the field nearby hear purple,
as dandelion fuzz blew in a careless snowstorm
across the whispering grass.
I smelled the blue sky
in the snowdrop in your hand;
I laughed,
my back a luscious shade of warm
gratis from the setting sun.
I don't know you at all in crowds.
It is only when you walk among the silent rocks
that you smile carelessly and talk without self-censure.

-

to walk there again with you
that I can understand your quiet
like the darkness of the fissures
or the heavy richness
I wish

so

of the deep green water.

�BOXERS AND DANCERS
Boxers and
Dancers

Tighten and relax
Smooth muscles
Back and

Forth
Like ropes
On sails
On ships.
Like lovers
Back and forth,
They are perfect.
Both so thick with concentration
As if they played chess
With the thickness of their bodies.

Thighs like horses' thighs,
Faces Blank
Because they do not Paint Pictures

With their faces.
They are not actors.
They are alone and
Have learned to love their loneliness,
Like a gold-star-sticker

Floating above their heads.
They do not care
lf you watch them.
My father dreamed

That I would dance-in-the-box but
I boxed the dream
And watched instead.
That's where poets come from because,
I can tell you,
When I see them pulling up their satls
My heart beats and

Flutters in my throat like
The wings of a bird
ln a tiny chimney.

From the smeared bus window
I watch a woman

with cheeks
the color of blood

turn away.
ln a large room
of wooden tables
and dim light,
unwrapping the bandage
of a hat
from my head,
winter becomes the desolate wait

for ice-veins
to thaw.

Sitting down
I press back hairs
dangling like limp fingers.
Walking up to my house
at night
I count remaining ice-veins.
Sunlight could not dissolve
this road's ice.
Cold air

from the roof
floats down
and hovers below
my room's ceiling.
I wait

for the angel

of pillars,
or the angel of cleft hooves.
Both speak my name.

�WALPURGIS NIGTIT
O spirits of the world, arise,
Ye have until the sun doth risel
The moon is shining full and bright,
It is Walpurgis Night tonight.

The fiddler strikes a tune of old
Amid the tombstones bleak and cold;
Mmnlight shining cool and chilling
Makes the spirit quick and thrilling.

Sentries guard the graveyard door
As phantoms from the days of yore
Begin to dance the night away
Until the dawning of the day.
The specters leap upon their graves,
The goblins sing within the caves,
A jackal howls amid the shade,
A bat flies in a forest glade.
The wind is blowing through the trees,
The tempest rages o'er the seas,
Walpurgis Night is here at last!
Its terror setting men aghast.

A vampire creeps about the bog,
The marsh king travels in the fog,
Ghostly sounds make children shiver
Causing even knights to quiver!
Skeletons in the graveyard dance
While satyrs in the moonlight prance;
A phantom floats about the gloom,
A witch rides freely on her bioom.
A-haunting we will go tonight
To give the men of earth Jfright,
For when the morning comes at last
We are but mem'ries of the pastl

-

Yet while Walpurgis Night is here
Our job is but to make men fear;
So join ye spirits one and all
And look beyond the graveyard wall!

1

A young boy lies in bed awake:
His room is dark, the boy doth quake
His face is white with fear anO tiight
He knows it is Walpurgis Night!

And so it is with many more'
This night of old they all dePlore'
But listen now and hear mY crY:
The sun is rising in the skY!
We musi return unto our graves,
To death once more we shall be slaves!
But on this eve again next Year
Walpurgis Night is once more here!
So wait we must until that time

To hear the toll of midnight chime,
And then we come about once more
To haunt the earth from shore to shore'

�Eq(LEY, PENNSYLVANIA
Near the broken picket fence
Where once swung the graveyard gate
Above the stained-glass windows
Where widows wept
ln the agony of their wisdom
That always came too late,
The churchbell rings atop the belfry tower
Breaking the silence of the icy November morning,
Echoing along the empty earthen street
Where dormant stands the company store
Faltering,
Torn relentlessly by the wind
That moves among the tiny clumps of grass
And whistles past houses
To sear its rotting timbers

And strip another board
From the vigilance
Of square, rusted nails.

Bernie Martz

TO A MOLLY'S WIFE

Upon the moss that greens the path
That winds beyond the courtyard wall
The shadows cast
Wither in the silence of their grasp.
And there the nightbird calls
While Katherinei wanders
Through the early evening billows
ln her tattered dress and shawl
Below the upcast wooden steeple
That looms below the light
Where sometimes swallows whisper
ln absence ol their flight
Between the rows of orchids
That from passing currents pressed
Moisten in beds of fresh-turned earth
That settle in the turbid mist . . .
As winds smooth sides of granite stones.
Bernie Martz

�JUMPING OFF THE BRIDGE

I lie in my bed,
ln my beer drunkenness,
And fall at first
like a slow anchor, unconcerned,
lnto octopus inky black depths
Of feathery water or
A corner in space where there are no stars and
think of weepy things
like unattended lovers and
poetry.
My eyes feel

thick like

Beaten boxers'eyes, as if
There were paperweights on them
To keep my novels from escaping.
lrlow on the blank bed-sheet canvas
I have become the painting:
an abstract arm-angel in the snow,
I curl my hands
close to my face,
Perlorm the fetal alphabet like a
Horizontal dancer and
reach the starfish ochre,
The softly liquid
Bottom.
Steve Corcoran

�THE EARLY DAYS

ln spring mornings
Gusty winds and schoolroom blues
Find laughing boys in corduroy
^Pyfyint ftocks grumbting
of
pijeons
With wooden guns
Across the ancient loading platform
That stretches the length
Of Livingston Station.
There, with untainted hopes,
Shiny
copper pennies are placed
On weathered rails
While brown eyes strain to greet
Trains that seldom come
And peer through dirty windows
...At empty desks and yellow ledgers
Where against the glass

With noses pressed
They dream of war and glory
And ways to break inside.

�AUTUMN

ln late September
The days of sunlight wane;
And amidst the fields and hardening furrows,
Along the barren cliffs that cast their shadows,

Winds begin to move
And quietly make their way;
Embarking on their journey
And undertake a new found task
To seek the leaves of ripening brown
That cling to weary, laden branches.

_

Bowing to the northwind, cold,
Stowly they begin to ftutter.
And alone,
One by one, they fall
Dropping where they may:
Some to earth,
Others to clay.
And quickly they are scattered,
Turned and tossed by every passing gust,

To rustle in the night,

Alone to find a rest that waits,
Soil for another year's harvest.
And the eyes of autumn softly smile
At those who wonder at the swallow's.flight,

Who southward gaze

And taste the air
That whistles through the attic soft
And passes with the fading tight,
While gussets strain and joinls creak
And tell their tale of woe,
Crying in their dark despair
Someday to only break.
Bernie Martz

�COFFEE SPOONS

Juggle ambition in both hands and leave
No hold for recollection
Until all eyes unequivocally state success:
Sad recompense for unrewarded dreams.
We are so steeped in waiting.
Stuff platitudes and tempered passions
in vast voids, damp and darkened,
Crowding urgent inspiration, which remains
unborn for my reflections.
A leaf formed, its potential sealed, is called,
presents even its soft, fine underbelly to the world:
No distress in preparation.
And yet should I be called to show such trust in supposed
predetermined courses
How lwould be stayed by recollections of others in the past
Foolish, beguiled into innocence;
And, wanting only confirmation of a dream,
would stumble over visions
sleeping in the wind-tossed grass.

�LOVE POEM

With each other we
are not such delicate artists
Such careless sculptors each

Never leaving the other
ln Gallery condition.
Little scars form a maze,
A pattern so complex that
As years go by
It becomes harder to find its center,
The heart in which we live.
I remember the religion of romance.
We worshipped love itself,
Each union a passionate sainthood,
Each touch an honest flame, a

votive touch.
But now we are reluctant canvas
Sculptors, brittle and pale as dusty plaster,
Lost somewhere in our frantic puzzle
Crazy prizon-maze.
Now we are mature.

�ROSES

Fresh from the warmth

-

And the love in their cutting

Carelessly dropped

Left huddled in the snow
Roses are quickly brittled

By winter's chill
That strips each stem of life
And cracks each frozen petal
^
Splintering the pieces
Among thorns
That lie fallen
Embedded in their place

Star-crossed lovers? They'll have their fill.
"Catherine, You know well I seldom write."
Well! mm-perhaps. Bah! His head doth swill.
But there's hundreds more, we'll sniff them out.
You want the stuff that dreams are made of?
"Dear Elizabeth," What? Do you suppose?
Here
Yes. Here. Tender, loving, full of hope.
What's this? "P.S. This comedy's about to close."

�UNTITLED
The clock stirs the hours

behind the glass, after
evening's faint blush took its time passing
the birds feeding from my strange hands,
undisturbed to think that they and I are not alone.

�POEM FOR PETER*

All the broken trees are falling.
Snow descends,

melting with polluted ice
along streets that stretch

their dark underbellies like snakes
lf the sky could open
and release pure rain
to the ground's breathing pores,
I could close my eyes
and no longer imagine you.
l{ the wind were stirring
twigs and small leaves,
I would not want the touch
of rain and grass
under my bare feet.
I would want only
the long amber heat of autumn.

�WHERE THE DEAD SLEEP
for my mother and father
The ashes of memory
lie scattered among forsythia and lilac
and turn to dust
beneath the shadow of the elm'
The wind moans through its nodding branches'
petals
The earth is a blanket of moist yellow
bears'
stuffed
of
tombs
concealing
No smooth stones mark these graves'
The beach graduallY disaPPears,
receding into the sea'
At dusk, dunes rise,
and behind them sandpipers find refuge
from surf and fishermen.
Shreds of kelp catch the toes of boys
who kneel in moonlight
waist deeP and unafraid.
Lullabies wander in silence
from the river's cradle
wfiere water rolls and foams,

a toothless old woman forgetting her way'
The rough murmurs of stars
govern a child's dreams,
casting tight and shadows of elm
which clutch tiny feet like sea crabs'
