Brian Clements Presents Three Short Poems by Bob Heman

Information

The boat is the story the ocean tells. The village listens intently and sings

for fish. The road carries the carts in only one direction. Where it ends the

railroad seems propelled by lights.

Information

The edge of night is propped up against the farm. The chickens are filled

with a secret storm. Only the valiant lady is allowed to rest. Soon she will

begin a search for tomorrow. Her guiding light is a man filled with wheat.

Information

The beards get on the train and remove their hats. Or they don’t remove

their hats but instead open their books. Inside their books there are no

boats. The women are all modest. In one, a rooster crows.
