Circles of Fame and Gerald Stern

Two poems from his book American Sonnets and a whole lot of blah, blah, blah from me.

Sorry for the overexposure..but it hides how tired I look...and that's a good thing..because sleep is an old friend that moved to a foreign country...and that country is at war.

Your face is slightly overexposed in the last minute. It burns hot and white
