returning to Cleveland with an olive branch, Kent Taylor
Sat, May 20, 2006 - 7:00 PM
returning to Cleveland with an olive
branch
tonight
in this city
that fostered
then betrayed
my illusions
trains wail
like a Greek chorus
parting my memory
with echoes
as if change
might be the greatest
illusion of all
now that these
runaway years
have stripped the morning sun
of promises
broken by night
Cleveland and I
are brothers
whose battered armor
only decorate scars
enough light remains
to keep us
from falling
but we can no longer see
what we’re missing

a belated touch for d.a. levy, Kent Taylor
Sat, May 20, 2006 - 7:00 PM
a belated touch for d.a. levy
you can watch the ones who
didn’t move fast enough
they are dying
& they are called Poets
--d.a. levy
Antares guided you home
the month
of the day
of the dead
1968
when you stumbled
into your shadow
no one was quick enough
to keep the sun
overhead
in Cleveland
two thousand miles and
sixteen Novembers
west
the night still yields
reluctantly
I only see
what your shadow covered
at noon
a bloody flag
left as a bookmark
inscribed fuck it goodbye
