Three Poems
mary-catherine jones

Bookstore, St. Mark's

I turned around to flush,
the lid read
Church.

Stalling
I washed my hands.


A priori

assurance. a mention of rain.

the splash of the widow,
the burden of the color blue.
seventy times. did you see? the dead ant -- the work of wingless.


[Untitled]

PREOCCUPATIONS

the here, in
there.


HEAVEN

effective i'm-
mediate-
ly.


SURRENDER

trying is
trying.
