The Moon

.

having no fire of my own, I shine
But never burn. I receive the light.
Man and woman, I gather both
inside of me, surviving darkness,
shifting to achieve whole
or starving
into halves and quarters.
If I don't feed flames,
Transparent fragments linger
after daybreak,
and for some short moments
I can cover the sun.

My Arkansas

.

 There is deep brooding
in Arkansas.
Old crimes like moss pend
from poplar trees.
The sullen earth
is much too

.
Sunrise seems to hesitate
and in that second
lost its
incandescent aim, and
dusk no more shadows
than the moon.
The past is brighter yet.
.
Old hates and
ante-bell-um lace are rent-
but not discarded.
Today is yet to come
in Arkansas.
It writhes, it writhes in awful
waves of brooding!
