it’s hot enough to put the bread in.”

Dream
Vision
Oarsman,
oarsman,
Where
have you been?
I’ve
been to Leafy,
I’ve
dismembered the Queen.
Oarsman,
oarsman
What
did you there?
I
hid in a cleft,
I
braided the air.
hearing our oars where their freed goatsteps
sped
and are silent
by an extinct river
O Babylon when I lay down
alert for sliding cataracts
where in corridors the print of dancing
feet
beyond poise I am prey
posing in snow-light
being of human form
clothed in the scales of a fish
Count him a magician
he controls the storm
walked on the sea shouting
that he is the Logos of God
that he is the Word original and first begotten
attended by power
upheld by his mother
(a very active gesturing baby)
what if Simon Peter Jesus himself
walked among the cold stone faces
shouting NIKA
emptyeyed blanksmiling
Swiftness divination these false gods
their commerce is the cloud
so they can learn what is preparing in the sky
Artificer of the universe
Magician who controls the storm
to see you in one spot
I count the clouds others count the seasons
Dreaming of archipelagos and the desert
I have lived through weeks of years
I have raked up fallen leaves for winter
after winter across an empire of icy light
Light of our dark is the fruit of my womb
or night falling through the reign of
splashes
Liquid light that bathes the landscape in my
figure
Clairvoyant Ireland
eras and eras encircled by sea
the barrows of my ancestors have spilled their
bones
across the singing ear in hear or
shell
as wreck or wrack may be in daring
There were giants on the earth in those
days
feasts then on hill and fort
All night the borders of my bed
carve paths across my face
and I always forget to leave my
address
frightened by the way that midnight
grips my palm and tells me that my
lines
are slipping out of question
Divorce I manumission round
with a gentle blow the casting branch
my right hand My covenant
was garment concealed or mask or matron
Proceed with measured step
the field and action of the law
Like day the tables twelve
whip torch and radiate halo
Sky brewing coming storm
Faraway over the hill
when Hell was harrowed
and earth was brought to heel
how the hills spread away
how the walls crumbled
deathcolored frozen in time
Where was the senate zone and horizon
Where are the people mountain of
light to the east
Tell them I sail for the deep sea rest
a painless extraction a joyful day
bird of passage over all I love
Goodbye to all the little fir trees
of the future
far off
in the dread
blindness
I heard light
eagerly I struck my
foot
against
a stone and
raised
a din at the
sound
the blessed Paul
shut the door which had
been open and bolted it
London Crossfigured
London
crossfigured
creeping
with trams
and
the artists on sundays
in the summer
all ‘tracking Nature’
in the suburbs
It
could have been anyplace
but it wasn’t
It
was
London
and
when someone shouted over
that they had got a model
I ran out across the court
but
then
when
the model started taking off
her clothes
there
was nothing underneath
I
mean to say
she took off her shoes
and found no feet
took
off her top
and
found no tit
under
it
and
I must say she did look
a bit
ASTOUNDED
just standing there
looking
down
at
where her legs were
not
But
so very carefully then
she
put her clothes back on
and as soon as she was dressed again
completely
she was completely
all right
Do it again! cried someone
rushing for his easel
But she was afraid to
and gave up modelling
and
forever after
slept in her clothes
The Pill Versus the Springhill Mine Disaster
When you take your pill
it’s like a mine disaster.
I think of all the people
lost inside of you.
Mating Saliva
A
girl in a green mini-
skirt,
not very pretty, walks
down
the street.
A
businessman stops, turns
to
stare at her ass
that
looks like a moldy
refrigerator.
There
are now 200,000,000 people
in America.
