A promise that can only be kept
by being made and made again
last lines of "Promise"

of syllables and lights.

last section of "Pronouncements"

a diner or gas station
at a desolate crossroads
and tried naming it
to evoke
the whole human situation
while
satirizing
the impulse to do so
What that name will be
is the one thing we don't know
end of "Make It New"

pronominal fizz
that invades us,
the waverly, weasely persistence
which, once we start to listen,
demands to be heard
end of "Again"

revision
which a poem
reenacts.
from "Yoohoo"

for time to pass.

or that we have caused them
to become enmeshed.
