Limitations

I could not reach a star if I should grow

Here in the East

Here in the east the barns are empty of grass

The Black Canaries

The black canaries sang, inspiring rocks

Swallows

My father welcomed swallows, hanging horseshoes

Epitaph

This is the tragedy that hounds and batters:

Apathy

Deep sonorous breathing of the drowsing sea
