Richard C. Williams: Two Poems
What Endures on This Side of the Sky | God: Vignette 101

What Endures on This Side of the Sky

   I think of dark roses on the trellis,
   geisha moths and the crooked arms

   of cypress; all rising for a slice
   of light. But the sky is washed of color.

   The lattice grows rickety, its weave
   ends where moth wings crumble

   and Heaven remains a myth,
   November dust at my fingertips.

God: Vignette 101

   On a San Juan terrace
   overlooking an aqua earth,
   God and I sip margaritas.

   We blow smoke rings
   while the intrepid sun glazes
   our unclothed bodies.
