Morgan Michaels Poems

'Don't look back!
need I remind
you? ' warned
the angel, ahead.
...

Irrationality-
We didn't so much free it
as open the bars of its cage
clap and stamp our feet
...

Cashmere overcoat
closed out from Sims
warm, with navy hems
reaching past the knee
...

Loneliness-
l'one, l'un, one;
li, lig, ly, a way of making nouns adjectives;
ness, keit, hood, a state of ensemble:
...

Don Juan, trolling out to sea
caught in his seasoned net
the monstrous 'nyet' of all women,
that towed to shore,
...

When the good God who made heaven and earth
had labored six days, he looked back on his work:
all and all he found it good
and wonderfully suiting the weather of his mood;
...

Overnight: a light fall of snow.
Sitting on the couch
looking through the open blinds
the way the whitish wiggles
...
