MY LIFE BY WATER
My Life by Water
PAEAN TO PLACE
NEW GOOSE AND MY FRIEND TREE
There's a better shine
My friend tree
Along the river
Black Hawk held: In reason
Remember my little granite pail?
My coat threadbare
She had tumult of the brain
Ash woods, willow, close to shore,
Audubon
Gen. Rodimstev's story/(Stalingrad)
Bombings
To see the man who took care of our stock
The museum man!
Mr. Van Ess bought 14 washcloths?
Don't shoot the rail!
Asa Gray wrote Increase Lapham:
Not feeling well, my wood uncut.
Grampa's got his old age pension,
My man says the wind blows from the south,
I'm a sharecropper
We know him—Law and Order League—
That woman!—eyeing houses.

FOR PAUL
Nearly landless and on the way to water
What bird would light
Dear Paul:
O Tannenbaum
Paul/now six years old:
Some have chimes
If he is of constant depth
Laval, Pomeret, Pétain
Tell me a story about the war.
How bright you'll find young people,
Not all that's heard is music. We leave
The young ones go away to school
Paul/when the leaves
BALLADS
Sorrow moves in wide waves,
Old Mother turns blue and from us,
What horror to awake at night
To Paul now old enough to read:
In Europe they grow a new bean
European Travel/(Nazi New Order)
Depression years
Wartime
Brought the enemy down
Jesse James and his brother Frank
A student
Keen and lovely man moved as in a dance
He lived—childhood summers
You know, he said, they used to make
Don't tell me property is sacred!
Who was Mary Shelley?
I knew a clean man
THE YEARS GO BY
In the great snowfall before the bomb
Swept snow, Li Po,
March
Two old men—
My father said “I remember
Dead
Mother is dead
The graves
I've been away from poetry
He moved in light
I rose from marsh mud,
On hearing/the wood pewee
My mother saw the green tree toad
Shut up in woods
To Aeneas who closed his piano
I am sick with the Time's buying sickness.
Hi, Hot-and-Humid
Horse, hello
Energy glows at the lips—
February almost March bites the cold.
I lost you to water, summer
Birds' mating-fight
Happy New Year
