Fist

 

 

someone so brilliant to say

too bad

staying in touch

doesn't include

touching

did she say

actually

she did I kissed

her on a corner

under a loud

loud lamp

in the snow

my hat covering

her ass

I thought no one

knows what

we are

it's not

dangerous

 

To My Class

 

 

I'm trying

to figure

out what

kind of fucked

up flower

a reflection

is

when everything

dances

in a bowl

of aluminum

day's on

no extra

light

just the color

scheme

of the gym

& thinking

about that

the tile is that

exact

shade which

is not quite

white

they chose

it and it's

why the

feeling is not

exact

 

I've got

to lie

down

on the mat

to see

the frond

peeping

through

the

window

sitting up there's

too much

a bending plant

a grille

the whole

life of

the gym

not the tiny

crop

 

 

like sitting in a

Muslim

restaurant

and the cow

peeps in

like that

 

I'm trying to

sort

out a

few things

at this

exact

moment

in my life

something

more

marvelous

than a category

the body

place is

a thinking

place

a surprise

here

a day isn't

a bookshelf

unless it's

the endless

process

of

pulling one

down

and hours or

years

later

putting it back

up for

some other reason

among its

new friends

I don't really

need

glasses

to write

but I squint

and gradually

that grows

unfamiliar

 

Generally

 

 

Generally

she takes

me to

some place

that is

empty

a little bit

of light

on that

tree between

buildings

 

the sky of

course

is lavender

and I

want to

relax

if I mean

fully human

what

sees

the texture

of the ancient

walls

what won't

look up to

locking & un-

locking

the tramping

who can be

gentle with

that or is

it what.

 

How is it

now, her

distant

tooth

on its satisfaction

even that—

it means

the same

as grave

the white

biting thing

 

I bit

what. I

hold it

in my mouth

now a silent

animal. The

jingling squeak

the growing

noise

the very breath

traffic

squares

the

blues

of it

before

vanishing

 

day will

come again

for sure

but the

scream

of it.

If you

sit in the

dark &

get what

you want

 

will I get

mine later

I thought

if you

don't know

then take

care of

what you

love so

I brought

you a bit

of water

& some

air. It's

what I

want:

 

more time

with squares

of light

& surface

first pity

& soon

it will be

regular

that's life

waiting for

everything to

go away

know it

will; hold

me now
