Iowa City (first poem in the Cities series)


Iowa City


The words would open like blinds

and seeing out with our internal vision

too much where there to be lost

all the days in step toward this passing

or failing or sliding by on one last dream

love quickens the pace until breaking

into dance the hospital grows and grows

right along with you all was said on fate

merely on the face sunburned and sad

words hanging from lips like smokes
