IV

Good Friday. We fly
a kite over Bermuda.
Our cross in the sky

 

IX

A barracuda
is eating a small nurse shark.
Each smiles like a Buddha.

 

XIV

Each must make its mark.
Under my nail is a skelf
of palmetto-bark

 

LVII

The butterfly sits,
another toffee-nosed toff,
on a pile of shit.

 

LIX

The glass of red wine
with which I saw eye to eye
until half past nine.
