I Open Your Death Like a Book
...your blue-eyed infant, beside you on the floor.
I was born to be there watching
when no one else was looking.
To see your arm go crooked,
see you fall asleep and not wake up.
To hear in flocking crows,
the wings of seraphim. In thunder,
your heart, that angel...

The Late Ambassadorial Light
...another leaf,
and another, down
to the lawn beneath.
Green, green, the high grass shivers.
Water over a stone, and bees...

The Meadow
...and air, always a little air
moving, or great gales thrashing.
A world in which the weed is free,
and there is no rancor anywhere,
except perhaps among the birds
who warble when they squabble.
The sun looks down...

See! I Will Not Forget You.
I Have Carved You on the
Palm of My Hand.
...And here's a plantain,
root like a vortex taking my hand,
but I work myself back to the surface.
See! The ground you prepared for us
holds on. It fills my hand, this humus,
folds and parcels of garden
and none of it pouring away.

Keep Facts Free!
We're surrounded by free factual information, but there's a bill in Congress that would lock it all up. The Database and Collections of Information Misappropriation Act (DCIMA, H.R. 3261) extends extremely broad copyright-like protections to collections of factual data - data like the price of a TV, the temperature in Arizona or information collected during scientific research. DCIMA would allow companies to sue anyone who interferes with their ability to profit from data that they collect. In other words, academic researchers, public libraries, Internet innovators and other database users would have to pay up if someone else claimed to have assembled the data first. This is not only unnecessary, it's bad policy.
