  1. Entering the Brewers' farthest door on the right
    naturally placed within the local drinkers'
    mischievous grin at departing Dave (began at
    ten a.m.)'s expense. Oo-ay take a look at that
    sashay! ferret scoffs as rest of the crew observe
    their drunk traversing Hope Square. Jazzer another
    one isnt but cigar & forgotten season's
    corduroys Charleston jacket & shoes amplify
    first & last response to sloshed mascot's exit. With
    gravitas : Don't laugh --when everyone's happy that's
    the good life… But Dave's at the bottom of a cold
    sea. No undertow so insidious as self-

    loathing. Interloper me'll have his mister in-
    sist the softness of any day enfolding rib
    & limb against the unreliability
    of night to deliver even a black bandage
    around sore eyes & head. I name him Sir Geoffrey.
    What else is he good for beneath the Evening Star?
    Cronies deflect him back-on-your-bike! Say nothing
    darling lest the whole world calls you out as a fake.
    For my part around dusk there's the path's cold curl to
    navigate --siren-rushes --footpad thorns
    of memory --Stranger's ache for epiphany --
    my pitch-dark boat's slow row across the reedy lake.

  2. Looked everywhere for this 12 x 12 Radipole/Weymouth poem! Originally #200 of the Millennium Poems collection (1997-2000). Not sure now if it's part of one of the English sequences or still in the Millennium! But this day it sits with your lovely series of photographs!
