Graham Foust

[from Graham Foust's Leave the Room to Itself, Ahsahta, 2003]

Philanthropy

I can contemplate

poverty, what gives,
my place and time there.

I can pray a lie.

What I'd kill for: now,
a limousineful

of bees. Absolutely
unmixed attention.


Whispered to a Wound

Collapse back
together.

Keep on

keeping out
and in.

Proceed

as the world
(any world

I've welcomed) would --

on thinnest ice
and medicine

and lists.
