Confessional Poem

I have this large tattoo on my chest. It is like a dream I

have while I am awake. I see it in the mirror as I shave and

brush my teeth, or when I change my shirt or make love.

What can I do? I can't remember where I got the tattoo.

When in the past did I live such a life? And the price of

having such a large tattoo removed must be completely

beyond reason. Still, the workmanship of the drawing is

excellent, a landscape 8 x 10 inches in full color, showing

cattle going downhill into a small western town. A

young man, who might have been my great-grandfather,

dressed as a cowboy and holding a rifle, stands at the

top of the hill and points down toward the town. The

caption beneath the picture reads: "Gosh, I didn't know

we were this far west."

Lake Superior

What I like best

are those rocks that

for no apparent reason

stand waist-deep

in the water and refuse

to come into shore.

You Move A Chair

You move a chair from its place in the corner

and suddenly you realize

someone had been sitting there all along.

You start to apologize.

Oh, no bother, he says and jumps up.

You are embarrassed, anxious.

He stands at the window,

hands folded behind his back,

watching the snow drift into the yard.

You can't think of anything to say.

You begin to hum in a nervous monotone.

You stand by the door.

Finally you try replacing the chair

but it's no use.

When you turn again he'll be gone.

My Feet

When I awake and look at my feet

I realize they must have waited all night,

immigrants clutching their papers,

clumsy thick-bodied peasants

still heavy with the old soil.

I think how many days they

must have stared at the ocean in dismay,

tried to cling to the pitch and roll,

no talent for swimming.

Now they stand, weary, bewildered,

still waiting, wondering which steps

to take across the snows

of this long winter

in the new world.

Porches

In southeastern Ohio there are porches,

one to a hill, that lean into the calm

like the decks of ships too long, too far out.

The coal is gone and the children have nothing to say.

And in the leftover towns the men fall asleep in their hands.

And the women stand on the porches in the evening

inside the deep eye of the sun,

listening for some kind of wind,

fixed utterly in any direction.
