Michael Donaghy
1954 - 2004 / New York
Tears
LIKE THIS POEM
are shed, and every day
workers recover
the bloated cadavers
of lovers or lover
who drown in cars this way.
And they crowbar the door
and ordinary stories pour,
furl, crash, and spill downhill -
as water will - not orient,
nor sparkling, but still.
