6.

[Boulder Colorado, 1972-1975]

 

To die

            or to be

4.

 

                  Lateral mist

                          I a

                   cyclopean

                       clock

                      mouth

 

(Saturn vomits Artemis)

 

My pins of grass

ears a magician’s saw

 

              the mirror in corporeal

              reflects only

              gush

 

Arch of me spans the whole

         blasted arc

 

hot to cold hand to foot

 

is bottom-heavy

foliage               A beetle

 

crawls

what maybe

 

                    an edge, an epithet

                    blurred











8.

[Boulder, Colorado, 1972-1975]

 

 

   either                   other

 

           ether

 

sister

                                   shatter

 

 

               lover

 

      

                            never

 

                            oro-

                            borous

[Polka Dots #5]

 

this was

as was

           spotted

                serpent

 

or of the eaves

 

           I the corner

       or rubble

                      pegs hands

              if

 

half

 

of window     wainscot

 

                 was me

                 I snake

                             thus



 













12.

[New York 1979-1980]

 

Are a melted fable

 

taffeta of organs

 

tricksters their eyes

            fall like peppermints

 

I is for Everyone

 

            F is

 

Lethe                            the O

 

Crystalline egg

 

the river that licks

            the cerebellum clean

 

are sugar or salt

dirt or dusk

 

            the cells of my blood

            are pennies
