Linda Rogers Poems

Yesterday, someone was buried
Limousines rolled by with their lights on,
tinted windows rolled up,
except for one, open a crack,
...

The rivers of Yugoslavia
are swollen with women
growling like the bellies of soldiers
who eat and drink too much
...

Picture the photographer
climbing an Asian mountain
finding the child in a meadow.
She is already blind, wearing a dress
...

In the photo by Man Ray
which the bass player keeps in his studio,
the woman is undressed.
By now, I realize she would be old,
...
