Modern Age - Fall 2014 - 81

POETRY: WILLIAM BEDFORD CLARK

the reluctant
thomist teaches
phil 101
. . . on our very hearths and in our gardens
the infernal cat plays with the panting mouse,
or holds the hot bird fluttering in her jaws.
-William James

Bear's hot breath on the hiker's face-
Shark-slice along the diver's thigh-
Bee-barb deep in the baby's thumb-
Worm-crawl across the inner eye:
was Wordsworth wrong
and Darwin right?
Storm-surge fouling the harborside-
Long bridges swaying way to stress-
Dark-tailed twisters abducting herds-
The Big One roiling up the West:
was Leibnitz wrong
and Voltaire right?
Live-In Boyfriend Abuses Child-
Veiled Girl Trips Bomb in Marketplace-
Judge Says No to Hydration Tube-
Clerk Disappears Without a Trace-
