Across from Love Street

Two blocks from the Rhythm and Blues

Graffiti of poetry

Written for travelers like you

While the musicians penetrate their horns

By the barriers of raging fire

The cold crisp breeze

Blows melodies a little further

Across from Love Street

There lie many books

Authors of rich silky thoughts

Langston Hughes

We are the traveling salesmen of verse

We have been quietly washed in by

Twilight’s tide and shall make

Our exit by the same mysterious

Means before the piercing dawn

We artfully dissect your town’s

Charm and personality and turn

Nothing

captures Midwestern melancholy

quite like Lake Michigan.

In the winter it is

a gray lake locked in ice.

Morose and morbid

sitting and waiting like

an ashen flounder covered

and lying in wait

 to gobble

up some unsuspecting ship and her

naive crew.

Smoldering summer comes

with no spring or fall

Pine a blooming parasite

Twined

Poised on a twig a jackdaw

Issues a pungent cry

Indignant towards celestial

Lights

telling tales of abandoned buildings
       in the rain
              places we'll never own
       memories we'll never know.

we scuttle under floors
and question the meaning of rail lines
you tell me about places you got to get off
           or the rail men'il get ya.

i only remember that one is in
