Sample Poems from
Summer Love, Winter Fires
by Wendy Priesnitz


Occupational

People are always sending
poems through the mail that
they think will interest
me or else they bring
their stuff to visit
and we waste a few
important hours by
complimenting each other's
words because they have
to take advantage of
knowing a poet two
dimensions of flattery
we'd be better making love
I can remember a musician
saying how people are
always thinking they must
talk about the performance
instead of the weather
or beautiful girls

 

 Untitled

remembering
last summer
the way David
needed so badly
to leave the new
people flowers
in his old garden
when he moved

we went for them
in my car
David driving
wildly

Jack and I
planted 3 dozen
mixed petunias
complaining
while David
made a poem
