Tonight is Just Like Any Other Night



Hipbone starred

This autumn leaves almost nothing

To be desired


In these mapmaking days,

Leaves, palsied, fall

This fog, man, navigated


Back curved, moled,

Geography, slept, relief,

To so need this yellow


Piled, folded, where the tongue parts

A pigeon on the blacktop

Spies February through


A glass November, a fine long-legged

Wine undressed my (your)

applause, smattered, marked,


Slept through, over, remained

Underneath some pale photos

& something, nothing, to desire.
