American Poetry Review, The,  Jul/Aug 1996  by Revell, Donald

The wind that shows a city

fills an iris, also

a heart suspended without wires

in the sparse lighting.

On a winter morning,

homlessness rides an impossible ani

mal into impossible vineyards.

The next wind shows a city

suspended in each vine, also

hanging the man.

If the hour had moved

without wires or the sparse

lighting above the wind,

none was hanged. Snow

fed the animals. Their eyes

we named for flowers also.
