Disclaimer

This blog ran for more than two years with no graphics--and it received about 50 page views. I was advised to add graphics; after seeing the huge public that followed blogs dedicated to homoerotic images, I decided to use that kind. The result was a dramatically increased number of monthly page views, and the number has remained fairly steady. Most of the images were found on the internet; although they are assumed to be in the public domain, they are identified as far as possible. They are exhibited under the “Fair Use” protections of United States copyright law: their function is simply to attract readers to the poems--I receive no economic benefit from them or from the blog. Nevertheless, they will be removed if they are copyrighted and the owner so desires. 1260 x 290

It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

Macbeth, Act 5, scene 5, 26-28

LO QUE SE VE EN EL ESPEJO

Lo visible en el espejo

nunca es el sujeto mismo

sino siendo un espejismo

sutilmente es disparejo.

Pale, skinny twinkies,

angular as grasshoppers

and as passionless.

HENRI MATISSE: WOMAN BEFORE AN AQUARIUM (EKPHRASTIC)

Bette Davis with nothing to do,

In a rare moment of rest.

She has nothing to do but wait.

She wants a cigarette.

HAIKU / IMAGES

On the beach a light rain falls—

among the sand and pebbles

the small drops darken and fade.

HAIKU / IMAGES

Above the river,

the restless clouds mounting and

tumbling, mounting and…

Thunder breaks the night;

lightning strobes the flat bedroom,

lining it in black.

After the late freeze,

through the window a white moon

counterpanes the bed.
