Raymond Farrell Biography

When it comes to poetry
I feel like David
Before he went out to meet Goliath

As I sit
Under the locust tree
The song of the birds

About naming a cemetery Mount Pleasant
After all, it is a place
Where the dead are momentarily
...

Tonight
As I sit
Under the locust tree
Letting my dinner digest
...
