Lines of Defense: poems

It was a time

Before we leave

The country of the next thing

Tracks

Cleaning up

Thank you

Something to hold onto

Something needed to be done

Now, finally

Anniversary poem

Intrusions

Betty Friedan's final advice

In love, his grammar grew

Formalities for the long road

If the poet

The little details

Those without final residence

Reconstruciton

Archaeology

Another argument with Jim about the soul

Their loneliness

The chicken and the egg

Delicacies

Testimony

The man with the three horses

Old past, near past

Pedagogical

For my son

Out of respect

Feathers

A coldness

Letter to the man I once was

The party to which you are not invited

The proliferation

Maggie and the gauchos

The widening

Odds are

The obvious

Ache

For the player

In another country

The statue of responsibility

Sea level.
