"June: The Gianicolo"

Driven to this, the pairs of lovers roll

into the parking lot like shaken dice,

and though they've come expressly for a vista

much grander than themselves, begin to fuse

into the other's eyes. Oh, that fond conviction

of a match made in Heaven!

Below them, at the base

of an ancient hill, the million lamps of Rome

light up in rosy approbation, each

signalling to one chosen counterpart

among the stars the nightly freshened wish

to lie uniquely in its dazzled gaze.

-- Mary Jo Salter

"Picture"

Who will recognize him

mother father brothers

that other woman perhaps

whose face

in a clouded mirror

flows down like rain

and you

when you look at yourself

what do you see

I see a man created

in the image and likeness of a god

who's gone

-- Tadeusz Rozewicz

translated from the Polish by Adam Czerniawski

"The Dogwood Trees"

(for Robert Slagle)

Seeing dogwood trees in bloom,

I am reminded, Robin,

of our journey through the mountains

in an evil time.

Among rocks and rock-filled streams

white bracts of dogwood

clustered. Beyond, nearby, shrill slums

were burning,

the crooked crosses flared. We drove

with bitter knowledge

of the odds against comradeship we dared

and were at one.

-- Robert Hayden

"The Yoga Exercise"

Within a rushing stream of morning light

she stands still as a heron with one sole

held flush along the other inner thigh

and her long arms like bony wings folded

back so that when the motion of a breeze

passes through her body there is a deep

repose at its root and in an eye's blink

she has become this gently swaying tree

stirring in the wind of its breath while linked

to ground by the slow flow of energy

that brings her limbs together now in prayer

and blessing for the peace she is finding there.

-- Floyd Skloot

"The Song of the Whisk"

My flail demolishes

The gold of yolks;

My mesh abolishes

What it would coax.

The waterspout can frisk

While it souffles the sea;

What's the twister but a whisk

For instant entropy?

I will erect a pinnacle

Of undulant bearnaise;

With clicking quite clinical,

Paradisal mayonnaise.

-- Eric Ormsby
