East Bank Poetry

Five Tanka

in the neighborhood
men are running lawnmowers
nature is reborn
birds sing flowering trees
nearly too lovely twilight



distant city sounds
unwanted in cold blue air
on fall's still green grass
snow melts passing seasons
not wishing to leave


coolness
fills the air
flowers birds leaves
everything
martini twilight


It is like a scream
this powerful April gale
of too many amps
you could shriek an opera
or play a Merman record


here is the crescent
she hangs over the beach fence
touching blocked-out space
softening the hard edge
of NO STOPPING OR STANDING
