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

ABOVE THE EAVES

Slight acrobat, it

darts, veers, and pirouettes

on the edge of sight,

teeters for a split-

second on the tip

of a wing and dis-

appears

           —not play, not display,

but insight—skill

intent on survival,

that makes us feel

how far away 

the top of the sky
