Passion Eddy  

Book two of impromptu trilogy.

  Larry:1


How arduously he enlisted his random tasking
of quarrelsome memory!   A grain trader he knew
      named Frank
insisted on a monument to our quiet dreams—and,
there were other things he longed to suggest

with demands tendered from a treeless expanse.
Rolling across in strengthening waves, they left us

rebuked—so we gathered our assortment of packagings
and disposed of them in the appointed receptacles.

Deluged with refusal, deluged with refuge, I simply
wanted to stand close to him and feel young. Even so

a man at work propels the incendiary; he remained
stalwart, listing random memory with lithe courage.
