Anemic Cinema
Howie Good

1

Fresh widow.
To be looked at
with one eye,
close to,
for nearly an hour.


2

Sad young man on a train.
Why not sneeze?
With hidden noise.


3

The passage
from the virgin
to the bride.
Network
of stoppages.
In advance
of the broken arm.


4

Emancipated metal.
Musical erratum.

The bride stripped bare
by her bachelors,

even.
