viii

Mike Grau

The stars people don't you see
along the streets and water everyday?
never seen the blueprint, although
cities don't melt when the grass is dry
and to think the cigarette butt I gave him

Work.

Henry and John are comic hero action books
made to work for love of
eighty-nine screaming

It's supposed to be beautiful
the steamer to the island
is suggestive, a part of Havana
to do whatever it’s supposed to
including the essence of a photograph

(from a longer series of sonnets called Trade)
