2 Poems by Dennis Mahagin

Tiny Ode to a Premature Ventricle
-- after a line by W.C. Williams

I was born to be lonely:

Un-ripened
plum,

pulse on

sun spot, far
flung: one split

second


early.



Bay Window Update

Bunch of vibrant
anti-reticent black

crows

hanging out

on Front Street
like they own it.
Oh, they know
every love story
and / or winning

lottery number,

I can't prove it

but I know it.

Been extrapolating phlegm
at this window since dawn.

Humans mostly bore them.
In a flap, they’re moving on.
