BLESSED PRESENT TENSE

Karen rings the bells
Amplified mercies
echoing songlines

Least likely honored
Down side world up
Weird blessings backward

Communing with No
Impersonal principles
Contraries abound

NO'S ECSTASY

Contains a big Yes
The poet's sobriety
Skis unprogrammed light

THE SOLIDARITY OF NO

Walking out with No
Into solidarity
Embraced by No

The excess I love
No, No, No, Never, No, No
Intoxicating

NO

Renunciation
20 years living with No
And No's cleanliness
