rascal commutes his train train
lazy man
cold spots fasten to jellyfish
body of buns pull eyes and snorting sand
sand remembers a girl
mean again
stunned by the strength of the sun
left leftovers small pox
a carnival remembers the sand
black coast foam up to my statue
fiery night strange fortunes and even stranger lands
no load
drifting stars like drifting sands
i know that morning never changes
falling through the day
in a falling in love kind of way
he fled from wonderful things
warm summer years
when his barking blood ran
with the earth’s enthusiasm
he lay for hours trading
the sun’s black glare for satin skin
paradise now for lands unseen
he licked a double-barbed arrow
and let his spirit fly
and between his legs and outstretched arms
the flowers grew
(incredibly high)
and when she presses him into the earth
and with kisses says remember me
fresh water swimming from a broken coast
it was soft they were simple
so far to fall
There is no use there is no use at all in smell, in taste, in teeth, in toast, in anything, there is no use at all and the respect is mutual. (Gertrude Stein)
