johnny case Poems

Only in high art may one person reveal two modes at once.
To attain this lofty affliction:
Show to what ails you a bliss it can never know.
...

I have no rural background, yet
In dreams I may recall a spring
Runs through an ancestral valley.
...

I stay by the wayside.
Where else to witness
Unfailing union?
The now forgotten
...

Not every song has its day in the sun
Some singers no night to lighten.

Numerous were our beloved stars
...
