John Sweet

Poems


in the great years

god

untitled composition in black and white

landscape made hopeless in the season of rust

the last murdered slave

landscape with falling house

thinking of blue air


thinking of the blue air

John Sweet

i am
thinking of the
blue air

of the days growing
longer and softer

i am thinking of
holding your darker shape
up against the gently
spinning sky

i am thinking
of the three of us
far away from here
and laughing and
i'm happy

there

i've said it

From Human Cathedrals (2003, Ravenna Press)
