1) The House on Unishcoto
Weep for the one so strong to die
Whom war has taken at last!
Moron or his wife that sings no more
And the ruins on Unishcoto.
This was he who had a flaming heart
And heroic breath,
Whose weapons are laid, and hung
In the House of Unishcoto.
It was he who grew mighty in war,
But her war was otherwise:
Thus, weep for one so strong in war
Whose war is now, of the night!

2)Stone Oven
Behind the stone ovenshe sat
One bronze woman, half-grieving
Her face shinning with heat
And rolling dark eyes; by her
Feet one dog and four puppies,
Scratching and bumping
As they atetheir meal
Fire reflected: flashes of teeth;
Curiosity had vanished.

3) Stone Window
Outside her stone window
In the sky no stars showed;
T he earth was a deflated swell;
The sky was sagging its dark shape;
The trees beyond, like chilled ghosts;
And the moon shown a cold
Corpse-like light, thus, a gray
Chill seeped through and upon the stones.
Trickling like water all around her,
Halting at her breasts, her unimpeded
Bones: her breath, flesh was without
Sensation. How long must I grieve?
She pleaded in her gray like silence.
Then the gray above her head
Began to dissolve.
