American Poets Continuum
Series
Poems that eschew ornamentation as they locate the fierce, uncompromising
truths of the human spirit.
New Mexico
The
sun blazes in silence
for
there is no one to speak to
like
the sun. The men sit
under
it, bored, filled
with
inferiorities and resentments
which
they turn toward the blue onyx
of
the sky, sending up planes
in
defiance, whipping the air,
but
nothing is said, for the sun
leaves
behind its own contempt:
darkness
and cold.
