"HEY! YOU LOOK LIKE A GIRL''
the "Erector Sets" were permanent they thought, & forgot & left
the bridges up
wheel zimmer kids all over ("America's Famous Rivers") & the country
might tilt, toward you, up dangerously
Look out! Fire Pa by the House Kite! & the Lemon o' the Lake freaks
humid ventilators & mates quail-fish
O, let's snout & lunge, baste & hasten Popeye! (he came over
in a brick faceted tractor glare) the Three Kneeless
Brothers! 0 bejeweled terraced rims of Hoke & "morn"!
the limits of New Jersey have been legally equated with the
limbs of tobacco & Jimmy's wand
wrecked his bridge-pool mother (a "family of 5...")
a kind of Lockjaw discovered in snails only under
cement & steel abutment bridges? guess so.
what, a tropical fungul-film of green pin fish? Geeks
authored Biblical Humor at bloody stumps! Yes!
& milk flange ups Vitamin C , & babies' mildew sold
a solid gleam on carpets, & the mysterious black gland
(doctors hid it) found to provide 98% champion gliders of kites
the transparent mantids rest on highest knit girders for their nests, tho
the belted cops have vacated Colorado forever
Chipmunk Berries kept the "war effort" hung in bulge
& fire creeps to cement the mothers flee! (Buy a Kit!)
Bee grew a beard! won a prize!
Cracker jacks emit "a weird light"
N.Y.Times legends' flutters ooze crabs below Hudson's "Green" Level
Calcomine gives the air to ceilings & mush
tone California "level housing", sounding like neon, crushed
(road-like) into the landing sea
too loud! move that Grape, the beds too lavender, & lounge "is too!"
I couldn't believe either in the "car park" (at all)
specially when you untied & left
your raspberry ribbon that snaps
& all & that too - "so true!"
toads in the mumble park "levels" humming by
ooooof! your lunch, I'd unlock my hand if I
were wearing a glove. Love's definitely round!
& nothing has been recently found to be
forever.

WEST
1.
agates roll and the bison flinch.
which way to the stormy layers?
lunch on which butte?
blown thru the bats, mesquite thumping.
Battle Iron, Canyon Pendulum Garden.
Golly Mine shelving.
Tin.
Eggs.
Thunder open.
lain out stone motor wrecks
the "help! help!" water mammal table.
2.
black fumes rising in the Sioux Bee tankard
watering growth, levels of sweat
gunk shaping azure louvres
granite in moonlit settlement
bronze boulder stick
calamite stew
beef breath
gulph
glyph

LEAFING THE BOOK ON ROCKY FEATHERS
a couple a latest issues of the mud manual
small mellons sizing up the barrel -- capsize!
& think boards & rest until your rent gets paid
small restful orange stanchions, riding
over from the squeeky
clean black harvard attacks in hail
"I used to worry"
I read the sign said hour mouth
opened to close (only) the first night (only the first time)
mothers embellish & dust the copper
things & laugh, waiting
for me but you won't be (for, or have been)
flaming carrots & peas in the closet put your little brother out
on the cloudy flange I'm free but sunday
ants trail ripening & bit my sack
3 years later (too late?) I'll seek your sister...
horror phlegm rousens & that brand cheese cloth over lips
gone to the back for a room to & forget me
classnight darkness & free belly hair hands
fragment collapse & don't
forget to get up when the year gets light
-- 1966
DIAMOND HILL (all sides flap)
For Ray
trips to the hill under the scarp car-barn gland
iced sky & you drink windshield ascending
cap my niccotine hand in the flap-pocket folded
day to dry ducking boreal swash & beer tags & fir trees
my friend's sly lip crisp by the lime pits
sour after-bare of gradeschool butt sickness
I honked near the xls
you cleared, lumber throat near a dented neck
Classical names for stools in the woods
twigs of the Ituri Pygmy hummed-tunes
lost heads in the briers
mosquitoe swallowed, sweat shots, lack of the pyrite mine
arrived fresh in a bent car
his neck twittered & drank beer
nothing to do but heave boulders on the night down
the housing project your shout, bluish
scree rattle, lights went on
I noticed your lovely holes, windshield punctures
drawers of Dad's fenders, backing away
to the red ant mount & glug quart soda address
