Whose beer is that? A Poem about Beer.

  A Poem about Beer Whose beer is that? I think I know. Its owner is quite happy though. Full of joy like a vivid rainbow, I watch him laugh, and cry hello. He gives his beer a shake, And laughs until his belly aches. The only other sound’s the break, Of distant snakes and […]

Portrait From The Infantry

A poem by Alan Dugan He smelled bad and was red-eyed with the miseries of being scared while sleepless when he said this: “I want a private woman, peace and quiet, and some green stuff in my pocket. Fuck the rest.” Pity the underwear and socks, long burnt, of an accomplished murderer, oh God, […]

Twas’ the Night Before Christmas and Santa got Drunk by Margaret Marie Hubbard

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the woods not a fireplace going, from the drought, no one could!

Late Moon by Philip Levine 2 a.m. December, and still no mon rising from the river. My mother home from the beer garden stands before the open closet her hands still burning.

from The Tenth Elegy by Rainer Maria Rilke

from The Tenth Elegy by Rainer Maria Rilke Ah, but the City of Pain: how strange its streets are: the false silence of sound drowning sound, and there–proud, brazen, effluence from the mold of emptiness– the gilded hubbub, the bursting monument.
