SUNFLOWER

Since I am not a sunflower,
The spring
Is not sufficient
(without you)

VAN GOUGH

Van Gough
Commits his ear to history.
History
Commits Van Gough.


Copyright © 1979, 2003 Hugh Cook

CORAL ISLANDS

Amoeba islands, emerald eyes
Fringed white,
Immaculate clichés odorless and cool
From eleven thousand meters up.


Copyright © 2004 Hugh Cook

Shape.
And the clouds shape the phoenix
And are ignored.

brief poem about memorial service at Hiroshima

We are awake,
Remembering,
And yet forgetting,
Asleep in ritual.
