Poems from Nightwork

 




Three-quarter cat’s eye

                                     moon

through smoke:

                            cul-de-sac

 

the dull round

night like another

                           blinking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sleep in the limbs

                             still working

the legs’ rhythm

lulla-lulla-

               by the road

 

rest comes lolling

by the main road.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rain frothing up

                         the road

 

everywhere the air lightens

and the body

                     moving heavy

through it.
