My daily coffeehouse being right on the parade route, I had a front row seat at the Battle of the Flowers parade, one of eleven parades associated with Fiesta here in San Antonio.
I took a couple of hundred pictures - the trick for this post was to pick just a few that illustrated all the parts of a parade, the floats, the pretty girls, the horse companies (this being Texas, there were about fifteen of them), the bands (as an old tuba player, a plentiful representation of tubas was required), reminders that this is about Fiesta in a bi-cultural city and, of course, the spectators, often the most entertaining aspect of a parade.
I haven't had time to process all I saw yet, so there's no parade poems. Maybe later.
I do have poems from anthology I like. The anthology,
Crossing the River, Poets of the Western United States, was published by The Permanent Press of Sag Harbor, New York in 1987. It was edited by Ray Gonzalez. It includes many of my favorite poets, as well as some good poets I wasn't previously familiar with, so you can be sure I'll be coming back to in in future posts.
Also, as is usually the case, I have additional poets from my library.
All together, this is what I have for readers this week.

Here's my first poem after returning from our mountain drive-around.
contentment
breakfast
outside, Bella asleep at my feet
after her regular morning portion
of turkey sausage
deer graze on the meadow
across the way,
breakfast al fresco, just like me...
a sense of contentment,
rare for me,
slows the world
to an acceptable crawl,
time passing
slowly,
an old man's desire
satisfied, moments stretched,
each long moment
more time
before the call comes
to wrap it all up and return
to my former self
as dust of this earth, to the day
I will fly again
to the sky, to the moon, to the stars
that were the first mother an father
to me, virgin birth,
as we all pass through the birth canal
of infinity before finding
a resting place
in our birth mother's womb,
and we are born and for years, too few for some,
never enough for any,
we rest in our animate form until the call comes
to fly away again, to burn and be reborn
the randomness of life and death,
coming from accidental collisions
all around,
returning in time,
to those same mysterious
corners from whence
we came
Here's my first poem from the anthology of the week,
Crossing the River - Poets of the Western United States.
The poem is by
Jack Heflin, a graduate of the writing program at the University of Montana in Missoula. A frequently published poet, he teaches at a small college in Monroe, Louisiana.
Good News
Somewhere north of Redwing, Minnesota
our train bridges a snow-crusted secret
whose waters go unspoken till spring.
Ahead, the tracks lead over a marshland
and above the bluffs
I watch a last shield of sunlight
break into roses over the frozen cushions
of cattails dimpled with snow.
An eagle, dreaming of spangled trout,
floats southward on a freezing wind.
As if it had been waiting all day
darkness wades into the valley
delivering the same moon,
thought tonight it is only the torn edge
of an envelope that one has opened
and read good news.
I've talked to no one for twelve hours
but if I spoke now, I could say nothing wrong.
Huddled around red fires lighting the river,
the shadows of fishermen grow into
the shadow off forests back of the ice.
Curled and rocking I listen to the low talk
of the mother and child behind me. Her voice
is the snow thrown upward past my window.
It's no a bird, love, it's the moon.
First this week from my first eBook,
Pushing Clouds Against the Wind, I have several short poems.

Here are two poems from my library. They are by Italian poet
Annamaria Ferramosca and are from her book,
Other Signs, Other Circles. The book was published by Chelsea Editions in 2009. It is a bilingual book, Italian and English on opposite pages, translated by
Annamaria Crowe Serrano.
Originally from Puglia, Ferramosca lived in Rome at the time her book was published. She is the author of four poetry collections and is the recipient of many awards, including the Premio Internazionale Forum, The Hague, 2003, and the Paremio Astrolabio in 2006.
Abandonment
Will it be enough to pic up the thread again. Ariadne,
after the drunkenness, and keep walking?
Will it be enough to feign deafness
if time dulls that boom
to a hum?
"Follow the thread - you say -
and continue your dance
Naked, as if you were being reborn, and even
drunk, as you are, deadening memories"
The thread slips away, without an anchor
of benevolent stars, and gets entangled
Maybe I've always been dressed
in a tenuous plan that wavers
If you find me, don't say it
My name
has taken refuge in a dovecot
I Watch Water
I watch water. I learn
how to evaporate,
how exuvia are abandoned.
The pile lies in a corner:
the salt of the earth (water is ironic)
The wise god of water
was undulating like a snake
nurturing the reeds
together with the fish
And a man too, unawares, was leeching off him.
It's a technique that only a god can master,
but which leaves no room
for plastic perversions.
How knowledgeable water is
when it coveres the forehead
in beads of fear,
before we commit,
before we speak.
Here's another new thing from last week.
above it all
a storm last night
left the streets
glistening in new day's
light, the air sweet and cool...
the sun rises red
and orange...
from the heights, the buildings
downtown poke through
thick white fog, like tall Indians
standing,
wrapped in white blankets
and about it all, still, the moon,
bright and round
against the blue morning sky,
its mountain peaks,
dark like lakes,
shadow the
plains
My second poet from the anthology,
Crossing the River - Poets of the Western United States, is
Rosemary Catacalos.
Catacalos was a 1984 recipient of the Texas Institute of Letters Award and, in that same year, received the annual Dobie-Paisano Fellowship. At the time the anthology was published, she was Literature Director at the Guadalupe Arts Center in San Antonio, but is no longer listed on their staff.
Tongue-Tied
I am drunk and alone again
in your house,
this place with so many mirrors.
You have gone for food,
leaving me helpless against
these reflections on all sides.
Everywhere the air
is covered with our imprint,
with what is forbidden
and also what is not forbidden.
I can only give in
and try to write this.
A stranger arrives
and sits in the next room
wondering why I won't speak.
All I have ever
been trying to do is speak.
It's just that sometimes
I'm an angel
with far too many names.
They clog my lungs and tongue
with their possibilities.
They keep me in a room apart.
The set me spinning into mirrors.
They names you call me by.
Sister. Lover. Teacher.
The names others
have given me.
Our Lady of the Miraculous Hands.
Our Lady of the Tainted Corners of Time.
Our Lady of the One Word
We all Know But Cannot Say.
Mother of the ferocious Teeth.
Mother of the Six Seeds of Spring.
Mother of Hearts Waiting
By the Sides of All Roads.
Ariadne of the Treacherous Thread.
Ophelia Who Died for Our Sins.
Phoenix. Venus.
Even just plain Demetres' daughter.
I have answered
to all these names and more.
And there are others still to come.
I suppose there is no reason
to say these things.
Except this house
is so full of mirrors.
And a stranger has arrived
and sits in the next room
wondering why I won't speak.
Here are some more short poems from
Pushing Clouds Against the Wind, my first eBook. The poems were written over a couple of years, years when, it seems I often wrote more shorter pieces than I do now, not, I'm afraid, because I have more to say now than I did then, but because it just takes me longer to say it.
The short poems include barku (a for I invented) and a series I called "Post It Notes." As well as just regular old short poems of no particular style or description beyond short.

Next, I have a poem from another anthology in my library. The book,
North of Wakulla, an Anhinga Anthology, was published in 1989 by Anhinga Press. An anhinga is a bird native to warmer climates. Maybe you knew that, but I didn't.
The poet is
Julianne Seeman. Living in Seattle at the time of publication, she was winner of the 1988 Anhinga Prize for Poetry.
The Poet Considers the Man in Her Kitchen
I would have preferred sleep
dreamless, without words,
a soft grey blanket to slip my
heart into,
but there your are in my kitchen
and the sound of your voice
in the dark space behind
the drone of my typewriter.
At the counter, my french chef knife
in your hand, you methodically
slice tiny slivers of rhubarb
you have just picked
from my garden.
Red juice stings the cuts
on your fingers, and you say
you will have to add a great deal
of sugar. I should have
known better the first time.
Any man who makes a woman pies
when he should be building
a house or writing a book.
And the way you handle that knife
at the edge of your skin
like you know what you're doing,
the way your voice measures
the air. But love is something
else. And this is my kitchen. You
are just another man, and
of course, I am a liar. "Smile,"
you say. "You work too hard.
Try the rhubarb."
Sometimes I get bored with the simple stuff I usually write an want the challenge of writing something complicated in poetic form.
a Sunday talk show on NPR
a Sunday talk program
on NPR:
is there a single universe,
our own,
or is our own ust one
of many, part of a multiverse,
many universes, an unending supply
of universes,
as far as our limited capacity
can tell,
all different, our good fortune to be in one
with rules that allow our stars
to shine, our planet to circle
its own bright sun, our earth to provide
means for us all and all we know
could there be others
so fortunate?
surely so, even as some
even today
are sure it was all made for us,
it cannot be so, for
in an unending supply of possibilities
there is bound to more of us,
not just the human us,
but the us of all
kinds...
we are not so special
as to the one
and only
---
and the scientists ask,
in this multiverse,
were there simultaneous, inter-dimensional
big bangs across a space and time
so vast as to be a mystery
even to gods were
there some,
creating all universes
at once?
(does "space" and "time" exist
only in our own
neighborhood, or do the rules
of such exist across all
verses?)
or did it all begin
with a single universe, a matriverse
from whose womb
all universes were born?
---
one scientist
says
that this is all unknowable,
that there are truths that are and will always be
beyond us
the other scientist
says,
all is knowable,
the all-known built as each part of it
becomes known,
and we will, he says, finally,
know it all
---
this one, more philosopher
than scientist,
says
all is knowable but that doesn't mean
we will be long enough
to know it
in his 70 decade,
this one says
he learns a little more each day
of the mysteries
of the heart,
knowing when his time comes
many mysteries
will remain
just as he knows
that all the mysteries of the universe
remain to be known
and that we will know as much
as can be learned
when our time in this grand scheme
of things is done...
but, still, all is knowable,
and, with the unbelievably vast
possibilities, some day, some creature
in some place and time we cannot know
will know it all
and, as the ancients foretold,
all known, all will end
From the anthology, here's a poem by
Naomi Shihab Nye, another San Antonio poet, my favorite, in fact.
When the Flag is Raised
For Judith McPheron
Today the vein of sadness pumps
its blue wisdom through this room and
you answer with curtains. A curtain lifts
and holds itself aloft.
Somewhere in Texas, a motel advertises
rooms for "A Day, Week, Month, or Forever."
The melancholia of this invitation
dogs me for miles.
Sometimes I lie in bed reading biographies,
traveling one paragraph three times
to feel its graceful turns and glides.
Naturally all other lives feel
more solid and trustworthy
which is the great stupidness
of my kind of animal.
Nothing is ever the same because
no one else is there either.
I go to the sink, splash water on my face.
In the morning sailors in sailor suits
park their cars in front of my house
and march around the block.
It is like we love on different shores.
More than anything I honor how some voices
raise a flag, even if the sinking country
will stay whole. when we reconsider
our own vanishing measures of air,
when the great loser of the heart
subtracts another odyssey stitching itself
a new garment of pink skin,
the flag is above us, waving without urgency,
waving like the word "remember"
triggers the tongue.
I will remember how I woke with your voice
filtering other voices, steadily penetrating
the walls, saying,
Traveler, saying,
Take Note,
so I was packing the small bag from the beginning again
as if any one could use it.
Now it was breath and needle,
the impeccable fine print of leaves.
We were leaving the grip of silence behind us.
There were so many people we needed to see.
Here's another poem from
Pushing Clouds Against the Wind.
I am currently on my my 83rd 30-day sequence of daily poems. And it's no easier now than it was several years back when I wrote the first one.
Monday morning
10 a.m.
nowhere to go
and i decide
to write my poem
for the day
but wait
i'm not desperate
enough yet
and eureka
i think
there's my poem
desperation
all about it
philosophical cultural
psychological ramifications
and so on
but that goes nowhere
since it turns out
i'm still not desperate
enough to write
even about desperation
maybe
tomorrow
Here are a couple of short poems by
Ursula K. Le Guin, from her book
Incredible good fortune. The book was published by Shambhala Publications in 2006.
The selected poems are from a section of the book titled,
Notes from a Cruise (Port Canaveral to Astoria via the Panama Canal April and May 2003).
II. Aruba
Twenty by six flat miles wide.
Fancy hotels, resorts and such.
What grows that hasn't halfway died
is scabbed and spiky to the touch.
The Spanish, French, and British tried,
gave up, and left it to the Dutch
to slave and mine and process oil.
There really wasn't much to spoil.
III. The Coup de Grace
The frigate bird with forked tail
and the majestic pelican
soar, and flash down from full sail
to persecute the fishy clan.
The beauty of their greed I hail,
their splendid difference from Man.
No clumsy primate feeds his face
in such a stunning act of grace.
VI. Antigua: The Silence of the Mountain
A long,long line slants up the sky,
half seen half guessed; through milky haze
it draws the eye and draws the eye
higher and higher still, amazed
that silent earth can raise so high
a pure geometry of praise.
But churches bowed and towers broke
the last time the volcano spoke.
X. Nobody
You put your glass down anywhere.
It vanishes. The dirty dish,
the sodden towel, disappear.
Fulfilment of the housewife's wish,
the husband's bland assumption - here
nobody has to do the wash.
Nobody, here, is brown, and young.
He smiles, and speaks a foreign tongue.
Here's another one that was a little more complicated to write. No more fairies frolicking in buttercups, at least for a while.
ever the disbeliever searches for belief

but do we no, in our search

because you believe
that there is an end to all
knowing -
your belief and your search for the truth
that is all truth
no different than that
of the Hindu holy man sitting
cross-legged on a mountain peak
contemplating his way
to the One at the center of the All,
or, the monk in his cell
flagellating his bloody back
because he thinks pain will clear the pathway
to the presence of God, or,
the Methodist minister who does good works
because he thinks God notices
those who do good
and seeks desperately that notice
like yours, all of them a search for the God

says
there is no God
except the one who exists
as the most basic craving of our humanity,
the one who urges our rational self
to disbelieve so as to protect
the truth of our
soul,
that essence which spirits away
to other realms when our rational self
expires
Next from this week's anthology,
Crossing the River, Poets of the Western United States, I have a poem by
Jim Simmerman who, at the time of publication, had been awarded fellowships from the NEA, the Arizona Commission on the Arts, and Bread Loaf. He taught at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff.
Ricky Ricardo Drinks Alone
I-yi-yi-yi! look at the moon
floating up there like a teaspoon
of sweet cane sugar or the head
of a conga drum. Someone said
the man in the moon is an old
Cuban fisherman who sold
his boat for enough bay rum
to sail out of his body one
soft Havana night, and half
the time I think it's true. Laugh
if you like, but I have watched
his eyes fix upon the thatched
hat of a woman who waits
each night by the dock for her late
sailor to return , only to
see the morning paint a blue
and emptier harbor, only to turn
slowly toward home, across fallow
tideland. Her long yellow
dress made her loo, from
a distance,like a canary, come
to sing the forests back.
What
has become of the rain that cut
through the night like maracas? And
of the flower monger whose hand
was a warm garden on my neck? And of
the sails that hovered like doves
on the horizon? and of the clop-
clop-clop of Lucinda? I want to stop
the moon with a bray sometimes. I
want to bray so sweetly it will fly
backward, like an empty bottle
over my shoulder. Bray until
I am back on the beach with my
father, learning to tie
a bowline, mend a net. There
was a song he sand - I remember
how the surf beat out time, though
the words, the words...Low
tide left me shells shaped like
pink fans. Luck was the bright
bit of glass I found one day. Keep it
close, he told me. Memory is a ship
in a bottle. The bottle breaks.
And again, from
Pushing Clouds Against the Wind.

The next poet from my library is
Brigit Pegeen Kelly.The poem is from her book,
Song, the 1994 Lamont Poetry Selection of The Academy of American Poets. It was published by BOA Editions, Ltd.
Born in Palo Alto, California in 1951, at the time the book was published Kelly taught in the creative writing program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and in the Warren Wilson College M.F.A. program for writers. She is recipient of numerous awards and honors.
Distractions of Fish and Flowers in the Kill
People fish the kills here. Black, the kills, with shade.
Moist with shade, and the graveyard odors, the graveyard hush.
The hush of weedy distracted flowers, grass flowers, brush flowers.
Flowers of savor, and those of ill repute.
And beyond, there is always the Island beckoning, to destroy or save,.
The lure of the Island, though there is nothing on it
But fireweed and gravel, and between here and there the water
Is deep, the water is deep between.
Fireweed grows where things have burned. The day
Squats with its magnifying glass. The boy in blue shorts squats
On the stones burning ants with his glass, and fireweed, which is not
The color of fire, grows in profusion. Fireweed is purple,
As in shrouds, as in
to destroy or put an end to.
This we understand. This thing on our hands we would be free of,
One crime or another, the plotted errors, all the dumb-show passages
We play over and over. The unrhymed passages
That call up the chief complaint: Chiefly the wind's fault. Chiefly
That of the Boy Actor...
The water's lights go off and on and the Island beckons.
There seems to be many hands waving.There seems to be many voices saying,
Jump now, before the fire gets you, the heart fire, the brain fire.
We are holding the sheets, holding the bedclothes.
And yes, the air is full of white stuff: feathers or grave wrappings:
Something broadcast wholesale to the wind. But the warm water
Shackles our ankles, and the wrong ideas are firm
In the body: the idea that harm can hasten
The coming of good. That rain can make a lasting forgetfulness That non-
Swimmer's reckonings that weaken the ankle. Poor
Lily-white ankle, dreaming it will step forward
As if for the first time.
Back to the fairies in the buttercups.

My last piece this week from the
Crossing the River anthology is one of my favorites,
Jimmy Santiago Baca, another of my favorite poets.
Baca, widely published, lived on a farm south of Albuquerque when the book was published, writing poetry, raising cattle, and selling fruits and alfalfa. The poem I selected is part of a longer piece Baca's 1986 book,
Poems Taken from my Yard.
XI.
Adobe brick.
Mix sand and water as mortar.
Palm it on,lay the adobe down,
smooth out the overlapping mud,
then let it dry.
The simplicity of this type of building,
becomes music,
a heavy melody of whispers of my hands
in mud, my fingers hushing,
until slowly the mud dries and my fingers scratch-rub
out designs, niches for santos,
horno to keep pan warm -
I stand back after days of work
to appraise my sculptured figure -
like Rilke in front of a Grecian statue -
I live inside this one,
part of its blood-mud, I move slowly
inside its body like a dream.
A man will cook in here, sleep in here,
will stare outside into the world
at others staring inside.
Life inside of life -
closed but waits until its time
to blossom - and who can envision
the soft-sparkle of beauty
in the blossom,
before the eye and heart sees it?
Who knows what poems will come
from this little adobe casita?
Who lingers inside this adobe casita?
What will I blossom into?
Like a seed, I crouch in my work,
nestled in this carved and dried earth.
The drowsy sleep that absorbs
the dormant fields this time of year,
absorbs me -
I am creating myself in this mud and adobe.
The sun, when I walk outside,
buzzes down on me like a honey bee,
taking sweetness from me,
then in a huffy swirl, buzzes across the fields,
through the bare elm branches.
And as I hose myself off,
hose off the scatters of mud from my face and arms,
I see in my head
a newborn child being washed off by a midwife,
as I let water run down my arms.

Last this week from my library, I have this sad and beautiful poem by
David St. John. It is from his book,
Study of the World's Body, published by HarperPerennial in 1994.
Hush
for my son
The way a tired Chippewa woman
Who's lost a child gathers up black feathers,
Black quills & leaves
That she wraps and swaddles in a little bale, a shag
Cocoon she carries with her & speaks to always
As if it were the child,
Until she knows the soul has grown fat & clever,
That the child can find its own way at last;
Well, I go everywhere
Picking the dust out off the dust, scraping the breezes
Up off the floor, & gather them into a doll
Of you, to touch at the nape of the neck, to slip
Under my shirt like a rag - the way
Another man's wallet rides above his heart. As you
Cry out, as if calling to a father you conjure
In the paling light, the voice rises, instead, in me.
Nothing stops it, the crying. Not the clove of the moon,
Not the woman raking my back with her words. Our letters
Close. Sometimes you ask
About the world; sometimes, I answer back. Nights
Return you to me for a while, as sleep returns sleep
To a landscape ravaged
& familiar. The dark watermark of your absence, a hush.
I've watched the composition of the American workforce change over the 40 plus years I was part of it. Particularly as it concerns women, I think the change is irreversible, not like WWII when women joined the workforce to replace the men off to war, then returned to home duties when the men returned.

(I'm approaching the time I never thought I'd see. That is, the time I run out of copies of my first book, Pushing Clouds Against the Wind. The only available copies at that point will be through my publisher on Amazon. In the meantime, I'm still selling them cheap at several coffeehouses in San Antonio until there are no more.)
