A Sample of Devin's Poetry*

Or This Poem is Lost           

                   
this town
is being lashed
with wind driven           
fat flakes

power lines sag
and sway snow           
laden tree branches lean        
and snap
 
this electricity
must hold
or this poem
is lost

this town might
hold my restless soul
because this shit   
is beautiful               
   
I know this leaning             
out my bathroom window
sheltering my cigarette          
dreaming my dreams

the court house flag
flapping and brass banging
in the frenzied orange
street storm glow
 
the fuzz
a lone vehicle
creeping down slushy         
main street
