Perhaps Not For You

There is no audience because there is no audience. So if you speak only to imagined beings what does "only" mean? -------------------------- This building formerly a restaurant . . . this small room has been scraped of its paint and denuded of most former furniture: but also it has grown in size—can a building be enticed to grow? Because it is now as big as an airplane hangar. -------------------------- Your beautiful face unbloodied beneath flies Mother of flies your beauty to turn to. If only the audience could see how you are peaceful and the flies languid, glossy But the audience will still bring its own feelings to these words not seeing you not seeing what I am present for. -------------------------- Who has left me here, I have. Who are your familiars Come into the enlarging page if you dare -------------------------- Because he invented your shape I do mean structure because he invented you badly everything is still hidden. -------------------------- I was to impale myself on a quadrangular steel rod, with a blunt end with a blunt end which would make puncture more difficult and I tried—it's too hard. I can't Okay said the voice. I can't Okay then I was weeping But it's blood! I'm crying blood! I screamed That's part of it said the voice. --------------------------- I think this is hard. (That's part of it) How they prefer him must go. I think this is difficult singing Length and repetition create power If this voice can return like a body It resembles something that's already been, Changing. ------------------------------ Chestnuts broken autumnal fungi so you will remember, that it's fall outside falling. you'll go down this is no story for the puling social classes No not at all it's for us my familiars say who let me weep blood on their ground.
