This week in the PEN Poetry Series, PEN America features two poems by Brian Foley.

Orpheus Come to Hell

I hear the people who walked here. I hear it and then you hear it too. On the road the yellow leaves coming to an end never drop, stretching out their change, some- thing bright to mark their bodies from the black grass. Here          is what we know. This is the music they would listen to. They were addicts. Here is what we know. We’re not crazy. Our instruments are impaired. Far from civilization we’re not where we’re supposed to be. So here we are. And this meeting is officially about the possibility of turning back.

Wine Dark Tree

Once upon a  time is a bone I’ve dreamed of

being intercepted         by the shade of this tree      all my

life distorts the acts      of watching                 You

work through      webs & starve      yr spider to death

The air weighs a billion pounds the lungs must itch           all of it through

its catalog – gods without men without women without children

2.

Life distorts the acts of watching

That nothing arrives  above it among the shade of

                 this  day too will fail       to make history

Old Mary     full of grease

let useless be- come Ulysses

BROKEN NUMBERS by Brian Foley

the woman in the car next is singing the same song as me & the man in the car next is singing the same song, an old want- not we pack the world with, it puts away nights & won’t take money. For an answer there has to be a hitch to stand up to to quiet the vinegar, so long ago divorced we hardly notice its once blue appeal, its lot of cheap space giving us tone. In my radio, the roads turn to reach around in the old way. A hydrant opens, sweeps the sidewalks but nothing is lost. Friends, I want to take care of you
