Middle Lane Birds / Heavy Locks - Steve Coel


Middle Lane Birds
Steve Coel

Along hidden
grassed up 
middle lane birds
swoop as insects
skirt and skit.

Time here
is held in place
by bells
distant with summer
brown and crinkled blue.


Heavy Locks
Steve Coel

Quarrels echo
across the yard
toward a large 
watery gate.
Grey

figures turn
hiding their hands
and run
as animals scatter
with the wind
that howls.
Down the hill

women gather
and men glare
from behind vast whiskers
in photographs
of heavy locks
that fasten decisions
from outside.
