Four Poems
the small rounded
hill crowned
by the village saint's
tomb
with its pyramidal
Seljuk dome;
and the marker stones
of villagers
interred in the
slopes
a little closer to
the saint
than wide heaven
   ф
into the
curl of
the wave
an old
oil painted
dark an
old oil
painted
dread no
more
   ф
the horizon
jagged w/
an island
added
for interest
one can
just about
make it out
if not
too humid
if even
there
