I wouldn’t write at all if it weren’t
for myriad writers before me whose works showed me what was possible. The poems
of this series are small offerings of respect, of thanks, to those muses. –
Brian Beatty
Besmilr Brigham
I don’t
recognize
the leather-gloved
hands
lifting the ax any
more
than I know by name
the yellow fireflies
blinking
at the door.
