Assemblage 4: the taste
|
sultry night
kissing my daughter's brow
the taste of her sweat |
|
| |
|
| |
outskirts of Milky Way an oak smouldering |
| |
|
stage set-up –
we follow the space station
passing the stars |
|
| |
|
| |
empty
sky
above
the
missile
silos
enough
wheat
to
feed
a
galaxy |
|
|
wilderness park
i pitch a tent
on the outskirts
of my life |
|
| |
|
| |
five months leave
gone past this night —
again, Vietnam |
| |
|
his letters
are beginning to fade
cleaning out day |
|
| |
|
| |
a brain boiling on its stem
atom against atom
in a grain of sand
(Hiroshima day) |
|
|
maggots leaving
the squashed fly ...
grandson |
|
| |
|
| |
meet lobster boy –
slept on his left side
in the sun, poor guy |
|
|
bunker tide
midnight waves slide overboard
sucking in moonlight (*) |
|
| |
|
| |
too early the dawn in my dream |
|
|
|
morning moon ahead of us in the hall |
|
| |
|
|
dark earth from a broken pot over heirloom seeds |
|
|
