New Poetry by James Diaz










The underside of river run

From now on
this word and light
will be
all that you have

a tiny stone
carried since September
on the inside of your sleeve

a stack of unpaid bills
next to an unread book
on Anarchy

the yellow moth
and the strange pond 
past Oswego

a house built
on shadow
moss 
and childhood echolalia 

life deferred 

random
but more true
than anything else you can remember.


- James Diaz 2015
