I used to take people in, find them chairs, try to get
them to stay awhile.  The ice sets on the outside.
I have my burden of miscommunication to carry.


As if my whole existence has been rejected,
I walk around reeling, with powers useless,
unconscious.


           At the bottom, closed-circuit void,
           un blur the entrance, a killer of psalms,
           dug in, wisdom less, cursed with joy,
           throttling the mutual organism for pleasure.

The cold threatens my hands
     which I cannot retract.
 The mirror threatens the cold
     with my own death,
       as if that would dampen it.


The outdoors threatens the indoors
      and its instructions are intact,
       as if preserved in electricity.
     The lenses of time turn backward
         on its grid work of dancing.


   High afternoon waits to explode
          in the dragon's belly of a pocket
           restaurant, flashing and urging
          in six pairs of eyes for every
             one.  And partakes of the lunchbreak,
                 smoking and fleeing.


Scarves fall from my hands on the way
      to the laundromat, and pantyhose,
       and chandeliers of corsets and
     thongs, wait for me there
   in the ceiling detachment
     above the throne of coins.


Scarcity can wreck, scarcity
     can make an incredible animal.
 The scarcity of time can shrink
       the scarcity of all
          these other things.

In the newly awakened areas more feline artists will emerge
    self-contained high-impact polystyrene animal-moles
at once the four hooves poised menacingly above;
    to excite the interstellar galaxy's outer edge trace its spiral arms
bright little highly textured dabs of his own for a long comforting licking
    a vast spherical shell of stars a robotic mission within the 186, 000 miles a second


      stretch from Earth a nonmetal charcoal briquette
   tornado torch to mimic the harmonic point
     with warmth, scent and sit in the mid-field or meridian
   simply stop struck by the most territorial observation
     the transmitters the cats were fitted with calendar, chrome-plated black dial
   for ladies unbreakable mainspring oval shape cavatina with play equipment


In the ring is the one central bulge and core surrounding the galaxy
a hollow place in his bed as elements burn

I am burning my life
 down into a low murmur
                 of truth;
 waiting there, until vocables
              mutate into truth, nerves
       meet in truth, and all else
                is gobbled into truth,
                       wetly.

Pretty as the head of a nail
   made for linen, scrolls and perfumes
      through an arch of polished town dreamed miniature
      where her eye-diamonds alert and sprinkling numerous messages
                                                                 ash on the concrete floor
    my jaw on the wood of not staring
         her belly of twenty-five country summers
              the oops texture of air arrested
          by the cool bustle of her curve and matrix
             thought bubble of jukeboxed intelligence
           the light in the belly with a hoof
             a sunset near her fingernail adjusting

Even my hair was lit
      with a new fire
        when I bathed in the light
                     of your presence.
 That which breatheth life and wrecketh,
  shoots mesmerized out of the undying ground.
    Juiced and sprocket of caves,
     forked mouth signifying
                                everything,
          I give you both my enough and my not-enough,
          bring me ointment under cover,
                                       clover come tow me down.

These machines are making me jumpy.
      I go around showing myself to people
           to make sure I'm still here.
     I don't want to be in a place
      where nothing in the air
        speaks to me.
 Behind a coiled mass of bronze
     a deep red fire goes on and on.
 In its throne of warped and muted echoes
                                          I am seated
                                                     and calm.
