THE GRAMMAR OF MIND, my chapbook from Blue & Yellow Dog Press, 2010, needs a bit more exposure. It consists of numerous short poems, each numbered consecutively. The idea is that each poem is about the mind as used in a sentence: the mind as the subject of the sentence; the mind as the object of the verb in the sentence. Thus, the title.

THE LEGENDARY, 3 poems, Hercule Poirot; The Loss of First Occasions; In a Hard Dream; Issue #68, 2016, online np. Magazine; 6/12/20 link no good, posted below; Hercule collected in my unpublished book New and Selected Poems: Bones Molder, Words Hold, seeking a publisher; Loss of First collected in my chap Naked among Possibilities from Kelsay Books, 2015;
The Loss of First Occasions
Witnessed by others, I have cached words in remote public places.
Based solely on my own assessment, some words today seem sure.
Reliable as my witnesses may have been for their time and place,
many among them have passed by, taking their share of assurance,
merely spoken assurance, with them. I cannot be wholly certain
that real voices blessed real words over my efforts, or caricatures
in league with puppets in the adventure of grand literary ambition.
Perry, Tom, Cameron, David, Joan I confidently believe are real.
Historians of every bent peculiar, record as faithfully the painful
births
of poems and the more painful deaths of witnesses to history; ideas
first
chiseled in stone; fiery lava erupted down a mountain; stone wheels
to grind the wheat; prophets; kings, queens, and particularly
warriors.
And although revising phrases and substituting more felicitous
words
keeps me warm, feeds me bread, rules me, tempts me to prophesy,
I regret the loss of first occasions, those seconds of only once
events,
the enforced closing of sympathetic eyes and ready, supportive
ayes
that mingle among comings and goings I hadn’t expected to
witness.
ACCEPTED BY THE LEGENDARY
Hercule Poirot
Around him heap countless lies. Even tortured truth will at first confound.
How deny what the book ajar confirms? Which cup contained residual leaves?
Which two of nine suspects could not endure the Belgian fabric’s loose end?
Hercule’s concentric deductions circle to concatenate surprises of his mind.
He concludes the count a swindler. Identified and caught so, unshackled,
the count, tailed by Detective Chief Inspector Japp, walks meekly ahead, to gaol.
When I eat, which I must to survive, I chew on English servility to truth.

The Legendary, poem Hard Dream collected in my chap Investment in Idolatry from Finishing Line Press, 2017; 6/12/20 mag def; posted below;
In a Hard Dream
Waking, I hear rushing away an almost known voice.
I hear my father, Ralph, who could bark, but rarely,
start his loud diesel truck, scatter gravel and leave
for Memphis on his regular run, but he is dead now
twenty-five years (perverse silence): his is not the voice.
Often in dreams I am visited by his father, Grandpa Jim,
deft with chisel and Wisconsin stone for monuments when
builders featured cut stone to embellish more than real need.
Although Grandpa Jim could rant at the “ornery” ways of men,
he rarely spoke above a raspy whisper. Jim is dead fifty years,
that I would not vouch for his voice: his is not the voice I hear.
I conjure these men’s last days to find a likely source of counsel:
one day in St. Louis, without attendance, dad died disinterested,
fatally ill, but mostly overwhelmed by angst and failed marriage.
He maneuvered his truck over scripted terrain, in command, but
without a subordinate, perhaps singing falsetto, but I doubt it.
He fought a Pacific war, starting on top, but often swept below
huge swells, dog-paddling after life and certain entitlements, but
not to salvation beneath the public address, nor otherwise significant.
His doctors, his nurses, monitored his going among hospital gong.
Grandpa Jim had sharpened his tools and hung them neatly oiled
on his cool basement wall, carved and fitted stone quarried near Lodi.
Stones in or out of a quarry may chorus together, but do not speak.
Jim later sat in a second story hallway outside an apartment, with door
and windows open for cross-ventilation; he too not otherwise significant.
Dad wrote a war journal to his wife, who found him otherwise insignificant.
Perhaps in his final delirium, dad called upon his father Jim for help
and the voice I hear are confused, receding words of my own delirium
as fine, even as true as can be expected late in life in a hard dream.

Plural Loneliness
Through years, each day this mailman
(unpaid) lay wreathes at lovers’ feet--
sentimental offerings to pink,
washed feet, now past dancing.
For he never knew how to dance,
never sought that pleasure in whirls,
unless around romantic ideas of love,
not adept at happiness by force: he
was clever, true, but not so felicitous.
He had squandered early attempts at love:
over and over he could not achieve conclusion:
the loneliness (plural) of inadequate efforts,
the foul corruption of escaping gas, it seemed.
More aromas: all perfumed, stifled little sneezes.
There were engines stinking of fumes too
(pall overwhelmed the entire track),
the race was long, drivers rallied and fell back
as the winner glistened leading the pack.

Everywhere Extolled
He went among branch debris,
kept close lessons learned
so often mending the fence:
about danger to her, distracted;
about deer after succulent leaves
and blooms; about fractures
weakening whole trees, that,
shrieking, make gapes in the fence.
He had known six seasons of stiff winds.
He knew, without doubt,
of his right to silence:
among his neighbors
it was everywhere extolled.

A Period of Inattention
for Sylvia
Some time passes that, to the mind,
is void of all events; and whether
I intended to wait ten years or not, I did.
But now I understand that millions born
have shaped their minds in the interim. My mind
has been re-shaped in the interim,
a time/space world for which no one
assumes full responsibility, in which no one
explains such deep attention to the vague,
from which no one returns
with both hands and mind full.
I do not care how I now affect these new minds,
but how they can possibly keep my pace,
how they will unlearn so little and learn so much,
how they will deal with their own lapses
without defaulting to intransigence.
You may be thinking
that I describe a yellow dream.
Or, perhaps, you think, I have read a bad book and cynically
seek to deceive any to whom such books appeal. Or, have I
finally withdrawn from too many poor decisions
or chosen to forget?
I am fortunate to have my hands full,
back from the Gulag, back from the Cave of the Winds,
back from wandering among the lost tribes,
back to reclaim conscience, and baseball,
back to tremble with the sensors in the mountains,
back just in time for Valentine's Day.

Photo Expedition
Waiting for shadows (the horizon absorbs the sky at noon),
the sensual kind seducing poplars' waves, I rehearse my craft:
balance common abstractions with the unexpected red;
balance particular corruptions with enfolding blues; balance
other shadows meeting moving feet with the light of desire;
and frame all these cleverly within the depth of ironic fields.
Standing at theater exits, I resist shooting puzzled faces,
contorted faces, happy faces: I avoid unwanted intrusions,
supposing at last that there will be no enlightened faces.
Near Skykomish, slug trails denigrate my avocation.
In Rome, too suddenly a feral cat ends its stalk: I miss
its kill when again the light isn't right. My bus from St. Louis
does not pause as a feral boy tortures beetles in the dirt:
lately, I regret my easy nature.
I inherited a need for perfect intentions, but squandered it
on categories of well-ordered images, on ordinary hands,
flawed, but gripping a handful of partly flawed transparencies.
Nearing fifty, I am ever grateful for clouds and automatic focus.

Refuge
A child’s natural hatefulness
always shocks me:
as if teasing a struggling toad
were a higher joy;
as if letting air out of the soul
were like letting air out of a ball;
as if other children,
all other children,
were private pets
leashed for new forms of fun.
I have forgotten my cruelties.
I have taken refuge in age.
I have eaten at the hands of kindness.
I have forgiven others for my pain.
Often my mind has been open to trespass;
my child has matured, put aside
most of her childish fears;
our attendance at the feast around us
has quickened the foot
and strengthened the arm.
A child’s natural hatefulness
often saddens me;
as if a large part of me stands by,
alert but ineffective;
as if my breathing were a selfish act
that only I hear;
as if the smallest part of me
turns petty in the face of need,
demanding my advantages.

Spanish Cathedral
No ceremony abets the spires;
they must stand on their own history.
A few minutes the bells are quiet;
their peal rumbles in the hills, however.
A wedding earlier has ended; white rose petals
trail on the breeze marking its dispersion.
No decorative crepe on the last tree
in the square; no crowds shuffle through the door
into the cool shade of the sanctuary.
For tourists like me, entry here is pedestrian only.
I consider the multiple meanings of the word:
depart on foot, observe this mundane life
circumscribed by eternal redundancy,
carry away with me buyer’s Spanish, amigo.
Claim whatever beliefs you wish,
admire the Moorish arches, do not fear
an unforgotten burden of inquisition.

Thoughts on a Clearing
From my open window
I hear before I see
the doe and fawn
come through the woods
toward the clearing.
As one alert
to danger, she stands and looks,
then, in danger, eats
from among abundant leaves.
The fawn accrues this knowledge.
My new fence denies the doe
remembered excellent repasts
and ancient routes inherited.
Minutes of staring, caution,
with mouths full,
before they turn back
to the darker woods.
Inside my fence is my place;
I do not eat my lush vegetation.
I see before I hear their going,
or, maybe I do not hear
their returning to their world’s
dangerous woods.

Drama beneath an Alder
I stand beneath the alder tree,
respectfully.
Wind stirs a bit, then more.
I watch the last leaf of its season
fall...
and wind bulls in for winter,
grabs my shoulder, twists
me hard to the ground.
The new season shivers me
but my respect is unshaken.
