		<description><![CDATA[I knew that later this evening cars would run over a few manicous, lizards and other animals that fled the fire.  Because we lived on the opposite hill, separated by the river, our house wasn't in danger.  But I couldn't help thinking about the manicous.  I'd seen them at night, rats with long curly tails and beady eyes with their young strapped to their backs.  I thought about them perched in trees, waiting.  The fire burned well into the night.]]></description>

a gun about to misfire, or a plant struggling
for water when the maid was too busy shaking down
the pillows for loose change

every gun is just a hotel without reservations, the bell
clerk bringing the wrong suitcases, waiting for a tip]]></description>

when the waves fall, nailed by the moon.
The beach will not be the same, hiding its shame.
It is a old testament punishment for sure.]]></description>

He’s been sitting up late with the dead. He folds
his hands over a flock of fries, modest
slaw, leaves a leatherette New Testament, his only tip.

		<description><![CDATA[We practiced the cycle of sail raising with a sea chanty: Off with the sail covers, Unknot the ties, Pull up the main sail, Try not to jibe, before tacking out to Star Island, peeing in a bucket, rowing ashore for pistachio ice-cream, skipping beach stones.  At anchor we would swim off Clod’s wide stern, my father’s hands pulling us back aboard.

The gulls circle like towers
over sea caps
to the border where a woman
teases with her hips,
her scales still wet with excitement.
