MacAdams Gravel
the thin man down
in the gravel pit
his insides moored
by ready mix
pushing snow
up off the pile
to load the trucks
that sand the town
in olden times
his namesakes would
macadamize
the roads to Ayr
last week the doctors
kedged his guts
he won't see
next aprils flood

Will's Dad, Glove Maker Recusant
William's daddy was a glover,
He'd hump the day tanning hide.
And though he couldn't read them
He bragged of his son's rimes
Will was true to faith, he'd claim
While squaring cow gut skin to wrist
He'd talk of Tyburn gallows
And note us of the naming lists:
In Stratford while the ladies pray
They mark the recusants in town,
In the shop his hanged gloves fray,
You'd think he'd touched their nightinggowns
Center town, they dragged him sweating
He cursed them all what done as him,
John was kenneled for his debts they claimed
The crows pecked his limbs? That was faith.

Tapo Meru
and discovers the illusion.
hard as iron, that long ago had been fished from the northern dams,
and dragged to the desert by slaves.
the trees were tied with the fibers of a well known river stalk
that came with the wood from the north,
from the rivers of the city -- retted cooked and plaited to make rope strong enough to hold the trees together.

God comes down to Vienna. He takes the shape of a cross eyed boy. He hands out apples to passerby on the Kaertner Strasse. And he notes who thanks him.
