The word applause is written all over him.”

Valentine, from Mean Time (1993).

Words, Wide Night, from The Other Country (1990).

into my lap, the soft lamp at the bedside
mirrored in you,
and now you shine like a snowgirl,
a buttercup under a chin, the wide blue yonder
you squeal at and fly in.”

like the careful undressing of love…I am trying to be truthful.”
