Morgan Michaels Poems

Adversity
not variety
is the spice of life
...

-Ladies-

-Yes?
...

-Well, he was an eloquent advocate of inter-species relations.

-He was? Now there's something!
...

One moon. How true.
Can you imagine the havoc
if there were two?
...

Star, my star, my own born star
That you were never the star of money
I think is rather clear
Because I haven't any
...

Saturday night:
Washing everything in sight
I retire lonely
...

smeared on like collodian
sealing the flanks of each,
and etched with a hound's tooth lattice.
'I thought Bronzino was a painter', I remarked,
...

It's important not just to
do what you're good at
but to know you're good.
...

A sudden cold snap-
puddles thicken
and go still.
...
