But I laugh,
And eat well,

Distress Sale

Early one Sunday morning everything outside -
the child's canopy bed and vanity table,
the sofa, end tables and lamps, boxes
of assorted books and records. We carried out
kitchen items, a clock radio, hanging
clothes, a big easy chair
with them from...

You

Your Eyes

Your Eyes
Mystic pools
Of beauteous light.
Golden brown
In color

Lincoln Monument: Washington

Let's go see Old Abe
Sitting in the marble and the moonlight,
Sitting lonely in the marble and the moonlight,
Quiet for ten thousand centuries, old Abe.
Quiet for a million, million years.

I Continue To Dream

I take my dreams and make of them a bronze vase
and a round fountain with a beautiful statue in its center.
And a song with a broken heart and I ask you:

Sometimes you say you do,
And sometimes you say you don't.

Cycle

So many little flowers
Drop their tiny heads
But newer buds come to bloom
In their place instead.
I miss the little flowers
That have gone away.
But the newly budding blossoms
Are equally...

The Negro
With the trumpet at his lips
Has dark moons of weariness
Beneath his eyes

The Gift Book (To J. R.)

A book is a kindly gracious thing.
Each has a particular gift to bring.

It may be the wealth
  Of a wonderful life,

Or the thrilling adventure
  Of Jungle strife.

Perhaps it’s a pleasant
  Of orient...
