Seven Deadly Sins

6. Joy

Warble of the night bird. Verse

absent adjectives and adverbs.

Breath between the stanzas

of the poem. Hair of dande-

lion loosed to the wind.

Sun of the blind

blazing the stained-glass braille

of doubt. The ordinary’s tale.

Of the invalid’s dream, the dance.

Blight to the plants of cancer.
