Mother Falls



What are we going to do with this woman we love

and anger easily

What to do gravity hungers for her

and her hair


is a beautiful deaf bear tumbling


while her cubs
                            whimp-


er 
       in the snow
















Poetry



Build blind build crane

Of unnamable fright

Build dumbly build blue

Into the blue in the head

Cranky art build moat

Build breath waters rise

Hence pitted tears hang

Build suitable grip      
  slip

Build bones fluid frame

Buckle up wiry heart

Lay the stone again
