IMPULSE

When my mood gets mean enough I may
Go to the very first poem in the book
And tell it the last, a thousand pages away,
Is about a grim owl who sums up the poet's life
As a thing of sand and weed-bound bones
But then, relenting, I may mention the ones
About rain, about the man in the bricks and
All the ones he wrote about you.
