I.

A shit-streaked fiberboard cabin in the bush.

Half-naked Hawaiian musclemen with pistols riding on the backs of packs of wild dogs.

Mysterious vinaigrettes in the boiling-hot refrigerator.

My Poetry Has Been Excised

Because I am still in the process of publishing my poetry – sonnets, lyric poems, translations – in other people’s magazines, including online publications, I have deleted all the poems I could find that I’ve posted here. The posts I’ve written announcing publications and linking to them I’ve kept. Posts about poetry I have also retained. Finally, I’ve kept those poems by the greatest poet the world has ever known, Bob Folder.
