TC: Now She Dwells Here

It was the work of fortune
which brings joy and not pain only.
But can a winged thing become less?

She lived on E. 75th Street
to speak plainly.

I mean: in the divisiveness of love
two people pass through
the same instant separately

for all their awareness sighs
for life and not for each other
but in doing that it does.





(1968)

TC: (Re)Possession


.




Rainy Night: Charles Burchfield, 1918 (The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.)
 




 

He creeps round the eerie empty houses at night
the cry of a lost soul illuminating a late window
on foreclosure and dispossession

The night stalker
alone, driving for hours through abandoned
neighborhoods, senses a curious

elation -- calmed for once, for once feeling almost
at home -- as though the light left on in 
the vacant house had been lit

there for a ghost -- for him, alone --
