Seven-star bird: poems

The joke.

Maybe night comes.

Looking for mercy in Marion, Massachusetts.

The word.

God compares the soul to five things.

Nights and days.

The garden.

The sun drivers.

Venus among the wanderers.

Death, like faith.

The leap.

Mr. Sweatner's paradise.

This once was spring.

The founding of Friendship, Texas.

August, the elder.

Sun, moon, stars, rain.

Birth of an immigrant.

Mr. Cervenka had time for love.

Aunt Mary, the butcher: a will.

Burial by water.

Uncle Emmet, wiser than God.

A mother's mornings.

A confederacy.

The quick and the dead.

Aeneid, Book II.

Paint.

Ghost.

Good people.

Father,

Hotel.

The crying room.

Table.

Revision.

The dead.

The problem.

Horses.

The gift.

Aeneid, Book IV.

The crow- trailed fish hawk.

God appears at night as a burning field.

Evening prayer.

Elegy in two storms.

God considers the elements and a bird.

The unseen, my love.

The walk.

Good-bye poem.

The star-steered geese of Yancy Mill,Virginia.

Seven-star bird.
