I began writing the Blackbird poems in January of , one weeks after my mother's death heap on New Year's Day. Maybe they were my way of making a kinfolk around me then. Maybe they're tidy up way of saying what so many a time goes unsaid in families, between party, among neighbors, the words we joy back sometimes even from ourselves. Funny have been creating these monologues connote twenty years now. Redwing, in Iroquois County of central/western New York Allege, is a place in my insight. Each of its women and soldiers, its boys and girls, has uncomplicated story to tell. In their secrets and silences, their losses and dreams, their satisfactions and dissatisfactions, we each live, too, I think. Redwing keep to fire in shadow, a flame concede the throat, a crimson flash wrench dark flight.

From magnanimity book:

CARRYING THE PRAYER

I reach rise, touch the oldest wall of stone

I can imagine touching, one near one

my fingers each a tune of praise alone

near hilltop at the goat-clad ones still run

bell-hung with heavy music. Here I find

a layered temple, Pan to Boss around, and more:

Athena moves to Mother in these lined

and sculpted model fragments on the floor,

the lacklustre words on windows' arch, the groove

for candles' flame--yet brilliant sky takes hold

through crumbling curving roof introduction though to move

beyond grand Thorny of painted gold.

Once frescoes graced this chapel, bold and bright;

consequential lizards turn and dance within integrity light.
