Poems by Francis Raven
Sand Dunes
Sand must rush through
the pores of a green sweater
worn by a 20 year old college student
while she drinks an unjudged martini
because she's only held one once before.
Sand must fuse into
fine but tacky crystal swans
held possessively, almost violently,
in the stained eyes of a fancy architect
whose 36th building is positive, final.
Backwards Heroics
The hummed way of angels.
Sitting behind the statue
who looks forward.
These entrances are not ready
for their own footsteps.
The bronze carries light
away from itself,
far away another ample surface
