RIC BASTASA İntimacy Poems

it is more
in the mind, and so the brain
makes a room
for us
...

we understand
only a glance speaks the
needed words
...

LAST night the dog
was alone. It has to be outside the house.
It is his job.
...

an old man with a
white beard
wrinkled face
bald and slouchy
...

there are two posts
near and far and solid and
compelling
...
