Appearances (Jack Darrow)



Last Rites

I should not continue
watching
the swell and fall
of black embroidery
beneath his widow’s breast.

Yellow

Inadequate glow
beneath the dome light,
a cheat pecks
through spare change
for his wedding ring

Appearances

Beauty took the vacant seat
beside me on the bus.
I ignored her
so people would think
we were together.



—Jack Darrow
