Love is not a talent
I said ‘Let’s undress’ and she put her head sideways
and
said ‘Um’ quietly in the kind of light I would sometimes see
when swimming underwater in a blue Boticelli robe
under
a hemisphere of cloud scenery filled with an ever-moving
train of changing, melting forms of every colour
all
vanishing away …
There must be no vagueness.
I want Patricia and I want a dog
and
so I do a dog and then
I do another dog and so
I am the other dog.
I
am very fond of the girls taking it easy
just below the prophets.
My behaviour is quite difficult.
Fish
dart in and out of the coral reef.
A green parrot is also a green salad and a green parrot.
Thoughts
on RISING MOON with raving-mad splendour of orange twilight glow:
my fingers emit sparks of fire with expectation
of my future labours.
They are fireflies – the little bits of me thrown freely about…
A
continuous parcel-opening experience leaks
through loopholes in the thickest shade.
As I walked in
the snow I felt as if she was talking through the wall.
No one was in any hurry.
Here and there
things slowly moved off.
The letters dot the grass like wildflowers.
I so to speak ensnare
them.
