PETER KROK
Looking for an Eye			


Fumbling in the dark, always looking 
      for an eye, he hurls stones 
at his shadow. Voices startle him. 
    a stranger keeps stalking. 
Each time he seems to see,
    a finger gets poked in his eye.
He sits on beach steps head against hands. 
    a child comes up to him.
Can I help you, Mister? 
    Saying No thanks, 
he stares at the Atlantic    

then gets up, drifts among 
    the noises on the boardwalk,
shouts of vendors barking,
    Be a Winner!  Take a Chance!
All you need is change!  
      Listens to the laughter, jangle of coins, 
amusement rides, roller coaster, fun of lovers. 
      Passes couples holding hands.
Watch the tram car, please,   
     a recorded voices shrills out,
Watch the tram car, please . . .   
    Dragging questions he walks 
on through the night.

---copyright PETER KROCK. PETER's 'Looking for an Eye' is the theme poem from a soon-to-be published book of the same name.

EDITORIAL Comment. I am certainly looking forward to reading it. Which brings to mind, where are the book reviewers out there. I would like poetryREpairs to publish poems from books that have been reviewed.

BESS KEMP
Tyrant		

Cancun in summer
is so hot you can
see steam rise 
like old ghosts 
off the asphalt

there is no escape
in the shade of yucca 
because an errant breeze
always brings heat
to your hut

on the beach
you have nothing
to protect
you from the dogged reality
of life without
that certain barrier
of comfort

but
there is always
the water
blue-green cool
that 
sweeps the heat
from your soul
while you float
in its salty arms
detached...

there is always that.
