			<description><![CDATA[ This poem&#39;s almost five years old, but I remembered it
<br>
when I read Tash&#39;s cat poem.
<br>
<br>
<strong>Pussy Cat Rag</strong>
<br>
<br>
When the cat glides in
<br>
from the rain and rubs
<br>
against my leg
<br>
I reach down to stroke
<br>
<br>
her fur; it adheres
<br>
in twisted strands
<br>
to my skin, which I wipe
<br>
on a dish-towel
<br>
<br>
for you to find
<br>
when you are drying
<br>
plates and cups
<br>
from dinner and you yell
<br>
<br>
who the hell got cat
<br>
hair on... ]]></description>

Salt in open wounds

Tuna dinners don&#39;t travel well

Stuffed in suitcases of gold

in rusted aluminum cans burning in

the ash trays of memory

this ticker-tape parade earth

has no streamers

no confetti

just blank verse

old smiles

artificial steps

cob web wigs

I look to the anchored sky

to graffiti covered sails

where the paint goes farther than the boat

<br>
the boot of reason

fits no man&#39;s foot
<br>
it only walks the tortured glass grass

			<description><![CDATA[ Poems unwritten since recovering you
<br>
<br>
Remember to wear a wide-brimmed hat.
<br>
Our church family knows absentia&#39;s
<br>
flowered wilderness. Beyond twilight&#39;s
<br>
skulking pigeon. Your musts echo.
<br>
Trying on the fats. An embrace
<br>
<br>
embrocated. Yellow tomatoes tremble. A
<br>
flush gust flurries. The swollen licorice
<br>
whips. Mores the pills swallowed. Solicitous
<br>
as auld crass. Runs in my empathy. Dour
<br>
perpendicular self. Teas fresh morals.
