VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Scene

Truth
Is a red wheelbarrow
Beaded in the dawn
Quarter filled
With last night's rain.

By its wheel,
White chickens
Tug worms
From the sodden earth.


........

Country Man

In the sump
Beside my house
Where jasmine tangles
With plumbago
A ten foot snake
Strains to swallow
A blue-tongue lizard:
Back legs
Scrabble in the air.

I fetch a spade,
Despising my banality.
