Selected Bibliography
Walk long
by Willis Barnstone, “Algebra of Night”
Walk long and even when the road is brief
each step is infinite. Here
in Canada the geese breathe the same arctic grief
that floats in my unfound soul,
but geese ignore the cold. They’re flying pin high
from gaucho Patagonia. I am a man of coal
smoldering below those fire-eyed birds caught
in their habit of electricity.
Long or brief I breathe green sky until I clot.
