George Bowering - from My Darling Nellie Grey
According to Holliday
when Dante met Beatrice
it was right in front
of our hotel. Remember
who Jean was almost
at the end of Baseball
Love, here the sponda
wind blew the thin
cloth against her legs
and who then
thought of a paradiso
spiritual? Was Dante
holding his heart
or posing with his
costly raiment? Those
flimsy shoes
would never get
anyone through hell
