Every Poet is a Looter
 
Your windows will be smashed.
Your goods lined up on the shelves like
cans of bland green beans or glittering gold rings
will be stolen and stuffed into the poet’s coat.
They will be sorted through with dirty
fingers and you will be surprised what
you later find discarded in the alley.  What
was considered valuable and what was not. 
In the poem that appears afterwards, in the
journal of evidence, you will identify what’s yours.
And by you,          I mean me.
 
 


 
James and the Giant Heart
for James Diaz
 
“Because it is bitter/And because it is my heart.”  - Stephen Crane
 
Because it is so big, people shoot at it with sharp harpoons
Because it is so huge, it shines like a thousand naked moons
Because it is your heart, they eat of it eagerly with crude spoons
