white bowl, strawberries
perfumy from sun
two spoons two women
deferred pleasure
*
pious impious
reason could not take
precedence
*
latent content
extant context
*
"eee wah yeh
my little owlet"
not connected up
your lit-up exit
*
just picked -
this red tumbling mound
in the bowl
this fact and its arrangement
this idea and who
determines it
*
this strawberry is
what separates her tongue
from just reptition
*
the fact of her
will last only
as long as she continues
releasing the shutter, she thinks
*
her toes are not
the edible boys'
toes Bernini carved,
more articulate
and pink in that gray
marble
*
his apprentice finished off
the wingy stone
splashing feathers from each
angel's shoulder but
Bernini, himself,
did the toes, ten-
der gamberoni,
prawnha, edible and
buttery under
the pink flame
*
this is what you looked like at ten,
held for an instant,
absorbed by the deep ruffle
and the black patent
shine of
your shoes
*
lying with one knee up
or sitting straight (yearning)
as if that yellow towel
could save you (some music about to hear you)
*
beside the spread narrow surface, the
yellow terra
firma, the blue wave
longing to be her own
future sedative,
no blemish,
blond
*
wounded sideways,
wound up as if
disqualified
*
externally, E-
ternal city,
sitting hereafter,
laughter
*
her separate person-
ality, her
father's neutrality
ity
*
equilibrium
(cut her name
out of every
scribble)
hymn himnal now, equal-
lateral
*
pronounced with
partially closed
lips
*
pink pearl eraser
erasing her face her
eee face ment
her face meant
*
he cut out
of her, her name
of each thing
she sang
each letter she
hung, on line
(divine)
*
this above
all to be who,
be nature's two,
and though heart
be pound-
ing at door,
cloud cuckoo
*
radial activ-
ity, who cow now,
who moo
*
not random, these
crystalline structures, these
non-reversible orders, this
camera forming tendencies, this
edge of greater length, this
lyric forever error, this
something embarrassingly clear, this
language we come up against
