Some circumstantial evidence is very strong,

as when you find a trout in the milk.

THOREAU         

Some quit

without farewells, walked

with the knowing of woods,

husbandry, building,

making, to be gentle

Found property

what is proper men use,

men’s ways and women’s

Saturday nights

the millworkers’ posse

drinks up

talking of rape,

each with a six-pack along

In Michigan they broke

both his hands with rifle butts,

in Taos castrated him,

took his woman, beat him

through the Sierra Nevada

After the first blush of sin

comes its indifference

And if there is no place

to stay then we’ll go,

and if there is no place

to go then we’ll stay
