World Sheet #5
- TWO POEMS
-
- 1.
Pretty Constant
-
-
- The
maze is sensible
- An entire upper floor where
- Dark and frazil birds
- Drown in milk.
-
- Charles D. carves
- His bloody bleating goat
- While the swirl of Asian women
- Drowned in milk.
-
- Drowned in company
- Wings like linen
- Stones in the night apron, coming home
-
- Drowned in the manifold stream
- The nervous system of a crane
- Drown in milk.
-
-
- 2.
Duty’s Abandonment (A Constellation)
- to Theresa, once again
-
-
- silver spurs
- of her hair jingle
-
- (liquidy
- psalm)
-
- for caissons of brushes
- that swoop to bruise
-
- a cotillion
- of blushes
-
- whose escorts and guardians
- impale the birds
-
- (those bitter
- Sussex girls!)
-
- constructing a cane break
- of twittering stars
-
- in darkness’ abrogation
- she shines. She shines.
