http://skyofink.blogspot.com/2004/12/price-of-gold-in-corner-of-garden.html
Some short poems published in literary reviews and elsewhere. Saturday, December 04, 2004. THE PRICE OF GOLD. In the corner of the garden. The woman clutched herself. She rocked. Her sobs were a violent laughter. All around her, almond trees bloomed. Birds cheeped in a nest, somewhere high up. On the other side of the garden wall. Two men discussed the falling prices. Of sugar, oats and gold. Their voices were quite audible. Guatemala and Other Poems. Posted by Brian Campbell at 6:00 PM.

Some short poems published in literary reviews and elsewhere. Sunday, September 09, 2007. AFTER READING TOO MUCH SHIELDS and ATWOOD. I am a man of few words. Bruce, say,. Or Matt or Joe. Surrounded by crockery pots. And washing on the line. Though I pay the bills,. Bring home the proverbial bacon. I’m a whirling asteroid to your Jupiter,. An errant electron spinning round. Even yet, you wonder why. Why I slip my hand up your nightdress. That you’ve gathered round yourself, for protection). Editorial Lune...

Some short poems published in literary reviews and elsewhere. Saturday, September 08, 2007. From everywhere they come. From chasms in the galaxies. Vents of distant dimensions. To this mountain in the sky. To bend, blend to the thrum. To the thrash and thrap of drums. Limbs flaring, flying. A blur of tan and green. Swaying in motley unison. To the crack and clap of drums. While around them sellers gather. To spread their coppery wares. Menorahs, nose rings, phials,. Anklets, opals, viols. Editorial Lunes...

Some short poems published in literary reviews and elsewhere. Monday, December 03, 2007. I sit on my aluminum throne. This spruce and eucalyptus-veneer table was shipped especially from Malaysia. These teak-stained tablemats, Sri Lanka. On that ersatz cherrywood shelf (Bengal), dates from Iran, mandarins from Morocco, gala apples from Chile. This neoprene book in which I draft is from Mexico; the power cord, straight from China. The robe I wear is from Taiwan. First published in Geez, Issue 7, Fall 2007.

Some short poems published in literary reviews and elsewhere. Saturday, December 04, 2004. It amazed him to wake up that fine morning and find himself staring through the same eyes at the same trunk, legs, feet and hands. He could move these objects up and down at his own will, and this he tried a few times: first a hand here, then a foot there. It was almost as if they operated by their own invisible ropes and pulleys. So," he said to himself, "I must be a human being now.". Why not an orangutan? Is a p...

Some short poems published in literary reviews and elsewhere. Saturday, December 04, 2004. LATIN SCHOLAR IN THE WOODS. He entered the mucky-webbed. Deep damp and green. Inclining ear in widening. He listened the lisping layers. Tr tr tr ’nnn KICK! Wuff wuff wuff of wings. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh of leaves -. Till the lashed lids raised and the light slashed in. Trunks rising out of his eyes like serpents slendering into. Women’s arms that crotched and veined into sky blue speckles. Did it matter now.
