Two Lanes Clear
Let people marry
people––
Ravens
brighter than silver
culling a highway’s
littered shoulder
& prefer discovery
Again I am thinking
here’s this party
strewn––
& man
hitching his selves
All Lined Up
Before this day
a rehearsal, kind-
ness, love in fact
it was a nice
hotel
How nice
a hotel Well,
It was Kentucky
& Straight
& Bourbon
& Whiskey
It’s a red practice
we practice, we
with sudden lips
