The Secret Sits
We dance round in a ring and suppose,
But the Secret sits in the middle and knows.

Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee
And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me.

But outer Space
But outer Space,
At least this far,
For all the fuss
Of the populace
Stays more popular
Than populous

The Span Of Life
The old dog barks backwards without getting up.
I can remember when he was a pup.
Anonymous submission.

Plowmen
A plow, they say, to plow the snow.
They cannot mean to plant it, no --
Unless in bitterness to mock
At having cultivated rock.

A Question
A voice said, Look me in the stars
And tell me truly, men of earth,
If all the soul-and-body scars
Were not too much to pay for birth.

Devotion
The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to ocean -
Holding the curve of one position,
Counting an endless repetition.

Dust of Snow
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

In A Poem
The sentencing goes blithely on its way
And takes the playfully objected rhyme
As surely as it takes the stroke and time
In having its undeviable say.

Hannibal
Was there even a cause too lost,
Ever a cause that was lost too long,
Or that showed with the lapse of time to vain
For the generous tears of youth and song?
