Robert M. Church Poems

Circa 1960, Tucson

 

 

the science and danger
of reprieve or del Capo

In living or action

the ______ . _______

   or . ________ .

            pattern

the theme and reprise in
human behavior patterns

 

 

The western world
a village
Villages are the western world
Here is now
And fair
Excited action seems
particularly
without meaning

 

 

Many are the stones
In a mountain stream
Many are the thoughts
In the dreams of the lonely
Desperation is common
and,
after awhile,
Fairly comfortable

 

 

Send the soul of hope
To someone
Not to me

 

 

Leave us
Leave us with plant
Sky
Clouds
Trees
Leave us some water
Now!
