Greedy for Less

American Poetry Review, The,  Mar/Apr 2003  by Davis, Christopher

Everybody singing,

standing, sinking, un-

touchable, uncertain,

afraid of air, feeling

something nobody

feels, palms open,

eyes, dyed green

through stained

glass, drawn

more to beauty than to logic,

those two wreaths nooses of laurel

around the gnawed neck of a cross:

inside this skull, disgust.

That's what the soul has.

That's why a baby cries.
