Polis is spoils

in mirrored shades  
 

of works and days

an old refrain  
 

the sting of which

collective sweat  
 

a cool breeze

don't explain  
 

 

 
From the set games of secrecy and promise of maturing insight in the tradition of nursery rhymes, to the strength of conclusion and frailty ..., these poems work those literatures with a lyricism as jazzy and hip as any in our day or night. There is some big music here from just barely off the event-horizon of language where we stand.
