In Her Many Arms
from THE POET series


On the hill where there is
one of everything
The Poet sits and waits

for the woman who has 
many arms. When he sees
her, he knows there will be

only one thing to do.
He knows he must go down 
and in her many arms,

in each one, put just one 
thing: a leaf, a bullet,
a grain of sand, a chair,

a tire, a heart, a bee, 
a star, a green marble, 
and on and on and on. . .
