Thomas James Martin Poems

a
poem
of
light
...

day moon
faint smell
of snap beans
...

watching the stars
until the stars
are just stars
...

for Joyce

My hands remember your brightness
Your face graces the morning

Flickering of gold dust shook from tiny heads;
...

My hands remember your brightness

'Just remember We love you, ” he says,
This the first time, I remember,
...

Drinking your coffee
And sipping your beer
Alone and palely loitering,
Sleeping on the Heath
...

entangled
in the life
of the spider
