from Gold Planet
i.
Small Planet into the bayonet.
Shift from the tree limb and over the fence.
Sharp Planet into the heavy water and under the pool.
Sleep to a cricket under Planet’s back, nightless and loud.

Praise
Lawrence Giffin’s] word choices are very tasteful. There is a subtle mixture of ideas from classical poetry, philosophy, psychology, and politics, without the poems’ seeming overly referential. The ideas are subsumed into the poet’s own intervention in the English language.
