Coat Check


We could meet in the parking lot
Of the Circle Cinema; the coffee
Shop has tasty tarts and comfy
Couches for us to share. Stir my

Cream in mystic spirals—recall
Steam over winter grates, clouds
Like meringue toasted in sun fall,
We were women in long clothes,

Ornamental metals chained around
our necks. In the second it takes to
Spin I have fallen in love with your
Chin and how your laughs sound.

Brown leaves as frozen as green
Buds in glaze, the season wheels
Like a drunken cinematographer
Who tries to tell what kisses mean.

National Auto


The dealership by the highway
Never takes down the fleet flag
In its floodlights and flash,
Though, because of another
Meaningless American massacre,
It is at half-staff.  
     Past midnight
In a winter storm, hail and freezing
Rain, the seams have come un-
Done among the strips.
   A body
Of blue, the stars freeze silver.
Red ribbons and white bandages
Like tentacles coil the harpoon pole.

How fast can you drive on ice?
How far?
