Steve Wexler Poems

The woman who many men love
Will doubt the true love of them all.
She'll acquire new loves like new pairs of gloves,
And be out whenever they call.
...

I would terrify tigers
And battle with bears,
Taunt bulls with muletas,
Tame lions with chairs;
...

One of those days of wind and all but rain,
That dilate the tiny vessels of the brain;
The sky a dim but stubborn glow -
Portending what? Man cannot know.
...

She's a one-cat circus on a national tour
Of the bedroom, bathroom and the kitchen floor.
Acrobat, tumbler, juggler, clown,
Gusting about like thistledown.
...
