the ships

Another new Ohio inspiration:

the ships

Everyone in town was excited when

the ships arrived on the horizon.

From a distance they looked so small

like a pair of toys but they’ve been here

since winter and things have gone missing:

a sailboat, a footbridge, a row of maple trees

a gas station and a couple houses on Berlin Road.

Three or four cars disappear every few weeks

and a hundred feet of Mill Street.

It keeps getting worse as the ships

get lower in the water. There are white lines

painted on the bows, you can keep track.

It seems pretty clear they won’t leave

until they have what they came here for.

the smallest woman in town

While in Ohio this summer I took photos and
wrote a collection of poems I'm hoping to post
online soon. Here's one of them:

the smallest woman in town

He stood there and watched her.

There was nothing uncommon about him.

He wore a t-shirt and shorts and a dull expression.

Everything around him was built to his size.

He stared at her, you could tell there was

something he was dying to say to her.
