James McLain Poems

If jealousy could speak to me.
I would not steal her gaze.
Around the dale and up each hill.
Each field where I count sheep.
...

When I see other's
hang on to their mother's tears.
Others their father's dreams.
When brother's and sister's
...

Loud knocks at night in your wall.
Having your legs spread open.
Wider than two arms can end to end go.
Full bodied shadow see through apperations.
...

I have been where others can not go,
I live in vain,
I live in vain, so you may never know.
...

They came out unforgiven, even by me.
I hurried to catch them, before they
struck your beautiful face.
Fate marched you far away, deeply so.
...

Evil, is to hunt 'you.'
smell you.
Nameless is 'EVIL.'
...

To know, how do i tell?
Different day, so are you!
Crabs hard shell, to hide
when soft is in style, eat.
...

Do you pay attention, to any thing other than
cutting your throat or who laid who with what.
Bleeding bland water your name for a band.
So much has been said by the noun proper
...

I had to come to this quite, Neighborhood.
Death is a Pair
held by white bony hands, aces and eights,
it records, according to court to force.
...

Love it comes, don't look down, love it goes,
it leaves a trail of tears most can't follow.
On the other hand, boys weren't taught to pee
standing up.
...
