What the Eyes of Texas Are Upon
Opposite Matamoros ("Slaughter of the Moors")
A fenced-in sandbar where the Rio Grande ends,
Unlovely Brownsville is itself a slaughter site,
If not of Muslims, then of smugglers' clientele,
Heatstroke and thirst each more effective agency
Than vigilantes on patrol. If terrorists
Are in that clientele--and is it thinkable
That Allah, after all those years in Andaluz,
Picked up no Spanish?--if then terror cells also
Are suffocated stateside in abandoned vans,
Homeland Security can claim a victory,
As can, statistics would suggest, narcotic squads.
An afterlife, a better life, the promise ends
This side of Paradise. There may or may not be
Ahead the sixty-seven virgins, living wage,
Room at the inn, the Magi's sure astrology.
As goal, the Lone Star, Juan, is only for the Wise.

Update for Francis Joseph
The quiet Danube eases past the quays
As though all meanings and all things which freight
Already had been borne away: a silt
For deltas, wreckage in the Dardanelles.
Restorers raise a time that never was,
Of ruins recent and without pathos,
As if some Japanese film studio
Put up Vienna’s separate but equal
For the reptile monster to destroy:
High octane breath on Buda, panicking
The restaurants of Pest. Or as if each
Had been constructed as the other’s folly,
Bridges in between them all their real.
What Romany the Germans did not gas
Are violinists in the restaurants.
One cannot know if Lehar stole from them
Or they from Lehar. It will be “Play, Gypsy”
When the Bomb has fallen. Centuries
Of occupation by the Ottomans
Have left at least a Turkish Bath, intact
And functioning, a Crescent on its dome.
Or is it sickle without hammer, Marx
As emblem put to rout? Crusades and creeds
Come each apart. The Double Eagle split.

Terry on the Bund
A trim ex-Air Force officer of sixty-nine,
I’ve come again to scout the world that once was mine.
Behind the images that say the East is Red
The image of the Treaty Port is far from dead.
Facades unchanged, an architecture retrograde,
One sees the classic houses of the China Trade:
Dutch Shell and Dollar Steamship, Jardine Matheson,
The chartered banks, and, seized first by the Rising Sun,
Thereafter by the ecumenicals, the vast
Headquarters of the missionaries, now the last
Of Mao, bureaucratic blocks, whatever for,
Adaptable for uses in the culture war.
I left here as a raw flyboy of twenty-two,
But after ten years spent in China, through and through
An extraterritorial. I may be still.
My adolescence was not that of Jack and Jill,
Nor notion of the future Peace on Earth, Good Will.
So, over all the intervening decades, drawn
Toward ease, I’ve sought the cities where my teens live on.
Urbane bush pilot of an urban bush worldwide,
I’ve lived a life of side worlds, standing well aside.
Macao, Durban (India without the dirt),
Lourenco Marques. There, all currencies convert.
Hanoi and Saigon, even in the final days
A little of the French Concession in their ways
Not ever Hong Kong. Those of us who knew Shanghai
Will always think of it as where to go to die.
Across the river from the 30s Europe wrought,
A Deco future mocks the Chairman’s every “Thought.”
The short Long March of art and enterprise set free
Toward towering hotels and free trade zones to be.
And do I wish the student demonstrators well?
To the extent they study, yes. If they rebel
To save the world… Intentions pave the way to Hell.

Tables of Law
In Abyssinia the Ark
(Not Noah’s; of the Covenant)
Has been assigned a guardian.
The Ark is at Axum, brought there
By partisans of Sheba. Blind-Although not stricken blind; just old-That guardian cannot describe
The tablets, or, indeed, be sure
If they are there. The guarded church
(No, not a tabernacle), chaste
And square, is carved of living rock.
A Coptic mockery of Jews,
Its dust and distance, negritude,
Do not attract the Blood Savoy
As did the Turin Shroud. Upkeep,
However, Addis Ababa
(Which did attract the Royal House)
From time to time contributes to.
Dividing sea forever closed
And pharaonic threat dispersed,
The pillars twain, the cloud by day,
The fire by night, go on no more,
Think not that from this wilderness
An Ark or people can be led.
Defining texts, on stone, on gold,
As Judah’s place is by the Lion,
Wherever honored, have their site.
Once who is guardian is gone,
The lightnings and the vengeance mute,
Bright seraphim untrumpeted,
Commandments unrevealed by Braille
And crystal lenses nowhere kept,
If we draw near the vessel lost
How can we sense that we profane?
Sinai, Salt Lake, is this the place?

The Song of Bernadotte,
or,
Trashing Scandinavian Modern
Recessive in its reach of guarding waters,
Stockholm prospers in self-serving peace.
If it has guilts, its surging suicides
May not exclusively from them derive.
There are the winters, tax indexing, Strindberg.
Neutral through two wars, though not, perhaps,
So neutral as all that--as corridor
For German troop trains Sweden profited,
Its biases discreetly processed now
Through Nobel prizes (as in dynamite
The nitroglycerin is buffered). Proud,
Not to say arrogant, this city might
Be built to lord it over Finns and Danes.
A bit of plush and grandeur, as to say
Uncluttered “good design” is very well,
But even Viking ships had ornaments
Upon the prow, and Barcelona chairs
Are stark rebukes to early Swedish kinds.
Nor is this yet the Kingdom Peaceable.
In tunnels blasted in the granite cliffs
(We thank you once again, Mein Herr Nobel)
Are bases for a fleet of submarines
Still in commission, and the ferries go
How many times a day? Outside the reach
Of liquor laws. A Carrie Nation nation,
Yes, and Lizzie Borden dairy farm.
How many of those suicides do you think are?

Russian America
Unkillable as Elvis or as Shiva,
Underneath the frozen Neva
Out to open sea Rasputin swims,
Arriving, after certain days, in Sitka,
Via Murmansk nd Kamchatka,
There to re-indulge his many whims
On wives of Eskimos and Tucson widows
Off of cruise ships. Can what shadows
Now be private eye, not KGB?
Or has the FBI become Okhrana?
Edgar Hoover, prima donna
That he was, would have been first to see
A kindred spirit in the monk, and worry
Lest he come someday to curry
Favor in the White House. After all,
Is there much difference between Onassis
Toppling Camelot and crises
Whose sexy scandals were the Empire’s fall?
If Sitka is St. Petersburg in little-Its logo samovar, not kettle-So, as once the spider was Arachne,
He the starets, drunken orgy over,
May yet be body in the river:
Seward’s Folly’s Mary Jo Kopechne?

Rites of Vikings
Because of iron in the cargoes and in the rocks on shore,
Compasses in the ore boats were undependable.
Duluth, Missabe, and Northern R.R.
Enormous trestles to the ore docks have a look
Of some arrangement made to onload Noah’s Ark;
Evacuate the planet onto spacecraft. SCurve ramps, an easy grade to nowhere, in the lake
Of Hiawatha they are shape of things to come.
Itself magnetic north, itself its funeral,
Some lodestone boat moves out to locks and fire: St. Lawrence,
Open sea. Smokestack America is one
With Tyre and Nineveh and with the small wigwam
Beside the shining Big-Sea Water. If you say
To mountains “Be ye moved,” yes, they will come to you,
If they are iron and you are Rockefeller. For
Mohammed it’s a different scenario:
Ships of the desert in a portage of the self.
And, as is known to any schoolchild, Arab dhows
Sailed into Hudson Bay and left Islamic runes
Upon a Minnesota Kaaba. Ark, kayak,
Or rescue rocket loading by the high steel truss,
Whomever they must leave behind, even as we,
Partake of Vinland. If the myth is, it was good,
Then why was it abandoned? Let our rune stone say,
But let the tale be flattering. Omit Japan.

Pinocchio for Grownups
Palermo
The puppet master being nearly eighty,
Uncertainty bedevils his appearance.
On time, however, rubicund and gouty,
He takes the stage. The drama he is steering
Is Ariosto. He does all the voices:
Angelica, Orlando, Carlo Magno.
With Paladins and Saracens the choices,
A violinist, hammering col legno,
Accompanies the fights. A spring and trigger
Let fly spectacular broadsword beheadings.
Not figures jiggling on their strings whose rigger
Operates them from above, whose threading
Always are on the verge of fatal tangling,
Stick puppets make their puppeteers their charges;
They are their alter egos. Each is angling
To have some last advantage. Flesh that ages
But that commands, and wood forever youthful,
Though ordered back into its casket nightly.
It is the curtain call that’s wholly truthful;
The old man limps; his puppet’s dancing sprightly.

St. Petersburg, etc.
St. Isaac’s in a photograph looks less
An Orthodox cathedral than a source
For most American state capitols:
The dome set on a colonnaded drum,
A pedimented portico. In fact,
Four pedimented porticos--East, North,
West, South--and columns not Carrara white
But opulent red granite. Not a touch
Taxpayers in the U.S. would approve,
Nor could they be consistently at ease
In presence of the giant church itself
And not the photo. Siege and weathering,
Neglect and riots, as the heavy mist
Condenses on the Neva and is space;
Is background, foreground (if you like, space-time)
Distort Democracy’s platonic form,
As if in Little Rock a late unrest
Had left its craters in the Statehouse steps,
Or insurrection pitted Charles McKim’s
Rhode Island masterpiece. As in a sleep
Of Reason monstrously go by the wrecks:
New Hampshire gutted; Texas looking like
The Reichstag at the end of World War II;
Wisconsin razed for landfills in its lake;
Utah a vacant Zion on its hill.
If Baton Rouge and Lincoln skyscrape still,
Nebraska Deco, Long Regime and Speer,
Is it because Democracy has shrunk?
A legislature unicameral;
One man, one vote, and that the governor’s?
Or is it that dictatorship rehearsed
Outlasts its fall and is alternative?

I Should Change My Life for That?
Archaic torsos of Apollo do not move me;
Neither do the marbles of Praxiteles.
Given their reputations, it must then behoove me
To draw up my denunciations.They are these:
The torsos' missing head is Queen Victoria-The arching nose and Hanoverian popeyes;
And classic statues would excite euphoria
In West Coast agencies whose models advertise
Weight training methods. I prefer Laocoon,
A Greek Goliath either of whose agile sons
Is more a David than that muscle- bound dragoon
In Florence (Lover? One night stand stood more than once?)
Lord Elgin, Rilke, Buonarotti, come up front
And have your prizes. You, Milord, have for your taste
In hauling off to London so much kitsch, the brunt
Of irredentists, though by right you should be graced
With honors, as a profile of Our Gracious Queen
Should go to Rilke. Michelangelo… Well, slings
And arrows he professed to have; slings must have been
Acceptable, a needful prop the subject brings.
In Sicily the temples have not put up friezes,
Meaning they look less a Doric comic strip.
Forbidden likeness, Moorish Art abstracts, and pleases,
Adding nothing on bare form. The Greeks equip.
