for Fog


And Another Cocktail Might Put Me in Nirvana

Grace is not my stock in trade. I'd say
That agitation is, but, here, upon my
Treasured bluff, within a warm and
Sunny day, the river, down below,
Aboil, full, for once, and moving
Toward an ocean, barest hints of leaves
On trees before the fallow fields the
Farmers plowed before the rain, a
Cocktail in my sweaty hand, I may
Have slipped the grip of agitation
For the foreign-feeling harbor others
Call a state of grace.
