Photos of mine when I visited Vietnam two years ago. 2007.

the Easter morning

sparrows' chirping and chatting

comes from the drain-pipe

Zoran Raonić

a pail under the eaves

- one drop jumps in

two jump out

with a broom

a nun chases the autumn

around the monastery

grinded

bowl of maize -

moon in the lap

autumn sky -

a raven follows

a combat aircraft

every morning

my walnut-tree makes longer

and longer shadow

Douglas McDaniel

Refugees

Bandits running

Remote country,

One day short

Of a room,

Exporting

a truckload

Of expectations

And pre-fabrication.

*

We are the heathen.

Agents of

the Axis

Of Evil

*

until proven

innocent

*

Light is leaking

A little out of each

And every fall day.

The sheltered share

Nothing, not even to rent,

And our belongings,

Or sense of our stuff,

Stretched in piles,

Like cairns to give us

Direction over

The plain.
*

Our hands are cold

And our tires hot,

Numb to the labor

Of the road.

The trees are gray

And the ground

is blood damp…

*

Every day

A little hope occurs,

Another button pops

Out of our tattered coats

And runs away

To a better place

Beneath a hotel room deb.

*

We burn ephemera,

Mortar memories,

In the fireplace

with a haphazard

Bundle of stolen logs,

A threadbare furnace

Burning hot and hungry

For some bastard

To cut us a break.

*

If all this roaming

Made sense

We would be laughing.

Long icicles

Suspended above

The solemn creek,

Wise to the leaves

Turned to red, fallen

To the fetid bottom

Of the shady places.

*

If all this roaming

Makes sense,

We will notice the sound

Of an indivisible flock of birds,

Making love, hurrying then

To our day, a regular day,

In sensible pleasure

And finally,

A limit to our pain.

~ Amherst, N.H.

Portrait of a Suburban Legend as a Young Man

*

Street skates ply the highway

leading to the lost children

They line up in court

after scarring their arms

with bursts of blue blood

and butane

*

Skateboard dude. Holy ranger.

Stiff shouldered, with close-cropped hair,

lanky as a sorrowful willow,

standing at attention,

sulking in regret, hand-bound,

the silent rebuke.

*

Stiff shouldered, snearing wise,

the great white defendant,

in nasal tremors, flares,

stares, surrenders the deed,

the vice, the miscue.

*

The lawyer shouts, in xenophobic

redoubt: Tall soliders, unite!

Vivi livi o muertes!

O, Lost children of sight!

*

But the judge hands over their

car keys, then, pleases them

with their rights.

*

What is truth, O judge

What is truth? They challenged

him, this Romeo, this stalker

with a guitar, strumming

on the sidewalk, who slept

in the desperation of this city's

plastic grace, this suburban

meatlocker of convenvience

and shame, where they

pop cold pills like candy,

then get suckerpunched

by gun-toting dads

in their SUVs, and O yes,

the cops, old Cyclops,

watching these streets,

the machine eye

loading this motherlode

of video games and hormones

and fear onto the conveyer belt

of justice, O yes, your justice, sure.

*

They hand over their rights,

compliant souls, one by one

They hand over their rights.

*

Compliant souls. One by one.

*

They take the deal

then spin roller wheels

down the photo radar lane

lusting and loitering,

lingering, in love.
