Stewart Brisby Poems

he was

silent stolen
victory
...

is
abandoned
like some remnant
of time-soaked simplicity.
...

you left metropolitan hospital
in my fourteenth year
ten blocks from those city projects
dangling on the lip of the east river
...

outside every door
there stands
a wolverine
who will barter
...

tonight i returned & found you gone
your death spoken casually
on tongues of survivors who live
where home is closed til 2 a.m.
...

The Best Poem Of Stewart Brisby

And Joe Louis Died Today

he was

silent stolen
victory

whispered
lips
of
bellboys

in the days of our fathers

in the midst of our
never was
he was

raucous laughter
confined in
dark mouthed
pullman porters

a gladiator
in hearts
without
heroes

name
written wide
in dust
on well trod
back stair
steps.
