Revolution

You began a nuisance
        and ended a reconnaissance;
        a revolution I could never have
        known the resolution to.
        All that was ever to be done
        was that I should join you.

China

In your    mind,
you'd cast me               out,
    the memory of me
was under pounds
           and pounds of earth.

In my mind, I cannot
do the same to             you;
      you are the china
  I cannot bear seeing

            broken.

Orion's Stars

Two faces,

in a way:

parallel.

One face

beneath—

 a roof;

another,

a shadow

of a barrel.

One face,

no fear

of to-

morrow;

another,

no fear

from dying

young.

One face's 

eyes ablaze;

another's 

eyes closed,

never to open again.

One face's

eyes face

northward;

another

claims his

inevitable

reward—

 
one stands,

one lies,

it goes

to show

that these

two faces,

like Orion's

stars,

were but

perpendicular.
