He is for a long time bleating the embassy collection:
(water-resistant cot,
a resurgent stretch of storefronts to dive into,
compadre,col legno, funding the new permits, pleasing
room, murderous rain.
Near-spring night, stars on flat blackboards, essay estate
questions passed person to person.
The lottery window
I turn red past,
hyacinth-lanced dawn.
In green tree talk
the transcriber dons a dark robe, a mirror.
The notebook discovered
the parting sun, magnificent trough, blind
hair on a head
of state, streak-woods
in the winding road atlas—stranded shore.
Pose in flight
covered by weeds, claw hair-rocks,
Pullulation. Push-up. Push-up.
Pestilentia reeds announce—trebly isolated, a closed trio,
the trinity trick-fucked—in a.

He strolled from the hill sound of sacred scales.
A sheet on his head (arrested for something),
they surrounded him,
Hera speaking through his mouth
kept the lid on his appeal to Caeneus the Lapith,
who had been a woman—
moon spread on the all edge of standing water,
the bleachers where they left the bodies.
That was the sedgy day, invisible contagions
stretching from our roof
on which the fresh trails of spilled pink...
to the aquatic plaza, one sandal at a time
and the bottom of the room beguiled us,
below the carpet covered with sand,
where they used to run
down the slums. Athena's oak prow, oracular,
from the grove at Dodona:
the team started the troika.
Many leave. One went in.
Many Jasons.
At some point Orpheus was on
that upside-down boat beneath the bridge,
but now, through its hull
(some planks missing), the ancestral bricks shimmer.
Rare is their tide.

Negative, chalk (how I first saw
your sign) reads like smoke signals.
Has an extensive collection of glasses.
On this side of the earth, no sides:
where we practice our marksmanship,
like soldiers in the city square, on corpses,
no matter many beetles in the grass.
Find it.
Obstinately refuse to grasp.
The spades, today valiantly shouldered,
submerge in the unprofitable patch.
Beetles are back-up plan zero,
the if I were you thing inside
the water container,
which is too blind to trust with the wheel,
to leave alone, even if in for the eve.
The wounds we gave ourselves
have just begun us,
irreligious, and are the deterrents,
as escarpments, of else but warlike heads.
Go get your own aquarium, each fin becoming
coiled beneath the bus, cruising along.
There you'll find the nasal passage.
Ask the operator for extreme commitment
from the lamp shade
to the table, all reflected in the unwashed window.
Table of omens. Flotation devices murmured
and murdered.
The shutters of thunder are forlorn
like the song of the sound of my own voice: a different tattooed country.
Nationalism.
At the rally, everybody's grin gives away two bags.
All are watered, her body slipping
out from under the dripping awning, effortlessly.

My observation are as follows: still dirty
“in the wisdom” that is constructivist
red theatre pieces, bike gloves all
like a mashed crop of dyed hair,
a bad crop this year.
We started the play at once:
An Enemy of the People.
A Buddha of lapidary contrition enters,
hospice, tears,La Clemenza di Tito interlude
rolled in tulips of decisive consequence.
Sprezzatura. Our row
throws that cosmic scratch,
apotropaic, scalene
back to the corner pocket
angle on the hustle—
“Live at the Paradox.”
