The Hoosier Poems
A soothsayer's sigh—
hummingbird at the flower
of a deadman's ear.
She had me chasing
starfish, crabs and seabirds while
I feared her kiss.
A cigarette thrown
to a night's highway burst to
a paved galaxy.
From moon crisp shadows
of tombstones, she turned away,
and I went with her.
