Same Vein As

Tiny brocaded soldiers

Brisk foreign shore

Erect, abreast but

Tiny brocaded soldiers

Erect, abreast but

One day only

Tiny brocaded soldiers

Brisk foreign shore

One day only

Stoic pet Spartans

If open were

One day only

If open were

Too immutable

One day only

Stoic pet Spartans

Too immutable

Stranded, one fixed piece

How many books

Too immutable

How many books

"The institute"

Too immutable

Stranded, one fixed piece

"The institute"

Such a freak ho

Rosetta Stone, so fucking

"The institute"

Rosetta Stone, so fucking

Not really neither

"The institute"

Such a freak ho

Not really neither

Sing my name

How like a volcano

Not really neither

How like a volcano

(Anything else and nothing else)

Not really neither

Sing my name

(Anything else and nothing else)

Swept into what cavalcade

My kids and my money

(Anything else and nothing else)

My kids and my money

I need it

(Anything else and nothing else)

Swept into what cavalcade

I need it

Cast iron and a gabled roof

Ever in the building

I need it

Ever in the building

What light looks like

I need it

Cast iron and a gabled roof

What light looks like

I'll paraphrase

Shh, she's sleeping

What light looks like

Shh, she's sleeping

Cry through the snout

What light looks like

I'll paraphrase

Cry through the snout

It's just so much fun

Come over here, babe

Cry through the snout

Come over here, babe

Is menacing there

Cry through the snout

It's just so much fun

in the beginning

the earth without form and void, 

darkness upon the face of the deep; 

the Spirit over the face of the waters

 

and there: light

the light good; 

the light from the darkness, 

a firmament

in the midst of the waters

the waters from the waters

seething evening and 

morning, a second day

here there
are no clues;
all the whispers you hear

are dying echoes

be adam
again
be eve
be not afraid

it is a garden

eschewed me, but 

don't be so formerly unrepresentable -- 

just a showcase for anti-establishment values

a space that illuminates 

inequities but cannot resolve them. 

first the poet against her social constraint, 

and later the poetry 

against constraint -- one against many, 

a small vessel cursing the sky that swallowed it. 

reality so to speak, 

and our linguistic expectations 

for the relationship between word and life:

could it please, could it please please God 
to make the Word good, as with You, 

the poem rests so heavily on the reader.

the confusion of connection 

this is the thing that helps us
never need to say this like as

my station, my prism, my manuscript

the tank rumbles

the rhinoceros stampedes

my station, my prism, my manuscript

in a dream
a magnolia tree
bloomed and

the front yard filled
with blossoms, all blossoms
past the second floor windows
even the clerestory

tired, as if there 
was nothing to see,
i came 
into everything

head
turned on
its
turned on
head

fear, a bastard thought

it is oncoming 
and it shall 
do rather nicely:


an answer
to a squandered
prayer

a silk robe
over
trembling bones

the film 
that squares
dust from the eyes

the locus
of 
our dire throne -- 


to each of 
these,
a silent vow

i pledge
allegiance
anyhow

no truth in phenomena;

this and many others

have bled drier

and will

Paris, a winter garden; fruit orchards on the boulevards

the Seine filtered and warm -- abundance of artificial precious stones

-- gold everywhere

lighting of houses: they will store light, for certain bodies

have that property, like sugar, the flesh of certain mollusks

and phosphorus

its radiance will light the streets

end the world through the cessation of heat

the disappearance of evil 

through the disappearance of need

communion of all peoples, public celebrations

we will go to the stars and when the earth is used up

you know, humanity will spread to other planets

trap this cuckoo bird

Cuculus canorus of the family Cuculidae

noted for its characteristic call 

and brood parasitism

how like the greater good

our call to arms and tourism

your cursory majesty and one

private hailstorm of cash

yellow-billed Riparian
blue-state seminarian 
scarcity will always be
our totalitarian dictator 

escape through your shirtsleeve
the stretch of a bicep, the wrinkle
clears another superhighway
i will find you at Caernarfon Bay

the kudzu conceals all that is left

then the fire consumes the vines

work only in the field
that requires no water
life for one 
death to another

when this rises
from dust 
to it is dust
the earth, succinct
like dandelion candy,
enriches the spirit with salt

what once stirred in me 
no longer moves without company;
an ocean liner tailed 
by the deep blue sea

do what it takes 
take what it does to you
on whose side will you reside
when the black hole opens

I'm sorry
dad for watching
tv but i am still
in holiday
mode but i

Good morning dad I'm sorry

I'm sorry but I'm watching
tV but I promis that this

My mouth your mouth
Two open sores
As far in as far out
Locomotive moors

I am a spy
Inside of your house
I know everything
That you lie about

Bright white inside
All black beyond
Eyes are fireflies
Who see nothing wrong

eating an orange for the mess
making a living for a living

calculating affordability takes so much 
if the seeds are found
inhabiting wisdom teeth like row houses
saving themselves for the ground


in due time we ask what the signs meant
preempt the pitfalls with Mentadent
we mean to detonate not deteriorate 
formalize our extracts to ameliorate 


eating an orange for the mess
