Three poems by Scott T. Starbuck
Co-creative writing coordinator at Mesa College
Scott T. Starbuck
The Art of Denial
- If you ignore a thorn in your hand
- it will go away
- but first the hand gets infected, swells,
- turns coal-purple,
- and sometimes parts must be amputated
- to save what remains.
- Disease could have been prevented
- by simply removing the thorn
- but companies that owned it
- said no.
Omen Poem
- The hawk I saw
- north of Santa Barbara
- flew higher than oil rigs
- offshore.
Listening to Fireworks Near the 2014 FOR Seabeck Conference
— for Gary Snyder
- The real work
- is daily practice
- in order to be
- of greater service.
- Skies are filled
- with vibrant explosions,
- ooohs and ahhhs
- while the truth
- like a cedar raven
- waits and speaks
- at in-between
- silence.
