DENIS M. GARRISON

Regarding Pillows

Give thanks that homely fowl,
mud hens and muttering geese,
give up their plumes and down
for the angles of our necks,
for dreams of flight
that transport our clayfoot days
beyond the featheredge of night.

A Cinquain: Empty Sea

Stony
Coast, surging sea
Is opaque, iron-grey.
Secretly swim whatever fish
There be.
