The Bear at the Dump
Amidst the too much that we buy and throw away and the far too much we wrap it in, the bear found a few items of special interest—a honeydew rind, a used tampon, the bone from a leg of lamb. He’d rock back lightly onto his rear paws and slash open a plastic bag, and then his nose— jammed almost with a surfeit of rank and likely information, for he would pause— and then his whole dowsing snout would insinuate itself a little way inside. By now he’d have hunched his weight forward slightly, and then he’d snatch it back, trailed by some tidbit in his teeth. He’d look around. What a good boy am he. The guardian of the dump was used to this and not amused. “He’ll drag that shit every which damn way,” he grumbled who’d dozed and scraped a pit to keep that shit where the town paid to contain it. The others of us looked and looked. “City folks like you don’t get to see this often,” one year-round resident accused me. Some winter I’ll bring him down to learn to love a rat working a length of subway track. “Nope,” I replied. Just then the bear decamped for the woods with a marl of grease and slather in his mouth and on his snout, picking up speed, not cute (nor had he been cute before, slavering with greed, his weight all sunk to his seated rump and his nose stuck up to sift the rich and fetid air, shaped like a huge, furry pear), but richly fed on the slow-simmering dump, and gone into the bug-thick woods and anecdote.
William Matthews from Time and Money, 1995

I love William Matthews’s idea—he says that revision is not cleaning up after the party; revision is the party! That’s the fun of it, making it right, getting the best words in the best order.

Mood Indigo
By William Matthews [x]
From the porch; from the hayrick where her prickled brothers hid and chortled and slurped into their young pink lungs the ash-blond dusty air that lay above the bales
like low clouds; and from the squeak and suck of the well-pump and from the glove of rust it implied on her hand; from the dress parade of clothes
in her mothproofed closet; from her tiny Philco with its cracked speaker and Sunday litany (Nick Carter, The Shadow, The Green Hornet, Sky King);
from the loosening bud of her body; from hunger, as they say, and from reading; from the finger she used to dial her own number; from the dark
loam of the harrowed fields and from the very sky; it came from everywhere. Which is to say it was always there, and that it came from nowhere.
It evaporated with the dew, and at dusk when dark spread in the sky like water in a blotter, it spread, too, but it came back and curdled with milk and stung
with nettles. It was in the bleat of the lamb, the way a clapper is in a bell, and in the raucous, scratchy gossip of the crows. It walked with her to school and lay
with her to sleep and at least she was well pleased. If she were to sew, she would prick her finger with it. If she were to bake, it would linger in the kitchen
like an odor snarled in the deepest folds of childhood. It became her dead pet, her lost love, the baby sister blue and dead at birth, the chill headwaters of the river
that purled and meandered and ran and ran until it issued into her, as into a sea, and then she was its and it was wholly hers. She kept to her room, as we
learned to say, but now and then she’d come down and pass through the kitchen, and the screen door would close behind her with no more sound than
an envelope being sealed, and she’d walk for hours In the fields like a lithe blue rain, and end up In the barn, and one of us would go and bring her in.

Poem Ending with a Line From Dante
E detto l’ho perché doler ti debbia — INFERNO, XXIV, 151
Snow coming in parallel to the street, a cab spinning its tires (a rising whine like a domestic argument, and then the words get said that never get forgot),
slush and backed-up runoff waters at each corner, clogged buses smelling of wet wool... acrid anger of the homeless swells like wet rice. This slop is where I live, bitch,
a sogged panhandler shrieks to whom it may concern. But none of us slows down for scorn; there’s someone’s misery in all we earn. But like a burr in a dog’s coat his rage
has borrowed legs. We bring it home. It lives like kin among the angers of the house, and leaves the same sharp zinc taste in the mouth: And I have told you this to make you grieve.
— William Matthews

A Poetry Reading At West Point
I read to the entire plebe class, in two batches. Twice the hall filled with bodies dressed alike, each toting a copy of my book. What would my shrink say, if I had one, about such a dream, if it were a dream? Question and answer time. “Sir,” a cadet yelled from the balcony, and gave his name and rank, and then, closing his parentheses, yelled “Sir” again. “Why do your poems give me a headache when I try to understand them?” he asked. “Do you want that?” I have a gift for gentle jokes to defuse tension, but this was not the time to use it. “I try to write as well as I can what it feels like to be human,” I started, picking my way care- fully, for he and I were, after all, pained by the same dumb longings. “I try to say what I don't know how to say, but of course I can't get much of it down at all.” By now I was sweating bullets. “I don't want my poems to be hard, unless the truth is, if there is a truth.” Silence hung in the hall like a heavy fabric. My own head ached. “Sir,” he yelled. “Thank you. Sir.”
