Lost and Found
Hungering begets slim wrists [I'm with
slender tongue shards of grass
between lips] triangle silver heart--
blades my words apple chest
noon applique
[eclipse of sunken breasts]
eye-shaped synagogues of old wounds
and yes greendry this spine--a raging
constellation guides the dead to my belly.(95)
Insomnia hurricane a strand of sex tied
up in ribbons redmad rashpeel terror
stooping low to feel the marshes
between quiet crevices of navel.
Sleep in this ear like Bosch and his mad
earpluckers in the valley of triptychs--volcano.
Hunger is not water, just pecks like loon,
the lost then found cocoon of archaeopteryx. (100)
Swabbed larvae, bones [secretly sleep in]
buttons dismembered shadows of mothering
knuckles and spit.One hand writes love
and violence the other adds to it:
sweat and passion. (75)
