ABANDONED CHURCHThe men on the steps grow quiet, and together turn their heads when a woman passes, her dress rising like a hand pointing the way. —from Rattle #44, Summer 2014__________Jose Angel Araguz: “These poems come from working at times in a five-line form, which I call ‘hands,’ maybe because each could be  written on the palm of  a  hand.  I  consider  them the poetic, unkempt  nephews  to  Yasunari  Kawabata’s  ‘palm  of  the  hand’ stories. These pieces are surprising me, pushing me to be concise and spooky, narrative and imagistic within a limited frame.”
