Devin Wayne Davis       three poems   

cold spring

dawn, come
upon the rail;

as morning trains
continue to pull
in & out,

a freight
covers the station;

then darkness descends.
and mist—

collected
sweat drips …

we’re clear.

salt

white
ice is blue inside …

it crashes
into the sound …

white
ice swims … it floats

to land,
and away …

white
ice, as it breaks

apart, looks like
a bear’s paw …

white ice
tires …

it
turns to water.


bathing beauty

see-through,
there in thin air;

she’s tossing off white sheets,
as her old flame parts company

… circle
set …

to find his place
—between the sixth
& seventh houses—

wind up, northeast,
spring cleaning this evening.

from a tub of blue,
half submerged
and warm … waning …

still
the moon
moves.
