the Battle of Tenupe
The Chiss drop ships landed perforce
on Tenupian plains as source
for pause among Killiks and Unu.
The Colony: in retrograde
regrouped, and set forth plans they'd laid
to absent Chiss ships, and then pursue.
A megamaser from on high
with lightning-fast speed vaporized
the still spry limbs of an ancient tree.
With Mogo branches smoldering
and Colony flanks enclosing
some wary Chiss on a sodden berm
were overwhelmed when through their shields
kolosoloks and Solo sealed,
the fate of many Chiss confirmed.
Though clearly not to be out-fought
the Phalanx let fly their onslaught
of insecticide to make debris.

Your pea-coat
is seasons old
and that Signet
Classics rag
you hold
is typeset
right to
the edge
—right to
the edge.
and your hair
is straight
and dry
and that cut
upon your thigh
sustained
in brown pants
while plans
we've laid
in He-Man shirts
and thin
sweatshirts
for having a
cup of coffee.
If they rebuilt
the Sears
Tower larger,
by proportion,
more space
would be
unusable.

la Eraro
Mi certe ke viaj ŝuoj
kostas multaj pro vi.
Kaj la blank' ĉapelon
sur via kapo,
via dolĉa eta kapo.
Kiam vi tute ne miskomprenas
la gravo de mia vort'
la tute angla mesaĝo
en mia vort'.
Kaj la glaso de via
okulvitroj est' tro dolĉa ankaŭ.
[the Error
I'm certain that your shoes
cost you a lot
and the white hat
on your head
your sweet, small head.
When you don't misconstrue
the importance of my word(s)
the very English message
in my word(s).
And the glass in your
glasses is very sweet also.]

In the Orient
When golden hair,
like magic flowing from the mountains
hangs there
obscuring your eyes,
a mist descends
like paint thinned
on a canvas
screen.
