There were people screaming,
a dog was barking.
I reached into my pocket for a box of
matches
to light the cigarette in my mouth.
The President was on the television.
A woman said she was cold all the time.
her friend responded
'Harry and I are headed south
They say February is lovely in
Acapulco.'
I leaned against a wall to catch my
breath.
A dog was barking.
Children running up steps.
I realized I was going deaf.

THE BLACK BIRD
(excerpt)
cairo steps into spade’s office
smile lisp’d
voice.......arrogant servitude
eyes pleading for the last rites
face crawling with expression
....................like an overturned moon
spade stared at the little man
as if he were staring into nothingness.
raised his hand.
lowered cairo gently
..................into unconsciousness.
