            Belle Amie: A Vision    

        Tug boats chug down Bayou Lafourche
        and one can almost see through the sun-fused fog
        Jean Lafitte with his pirate brigands
        romping in robust destruction and mirth
        hog wild in the august sun and steam.

        Or perhaps they were more thoughtful,
        pondering violence as a metaphyscal knot,
        pondering each how his own love is lost,
        himself cold and lost
                                                    twice
                                                            in the counterfeit

        sun
        of self-
        expression--

        like
                                        us
