gold skies, black money. I
felt so stupid, to talk
about them feels stupid. I’m
the sullen red Sun.
Bernadette leans from tenement
windows, sailors keep searching
world after world for
Bernadette, and her arms

proffered palms all milky.
From them coins drop into
Pickpocket’s pockets freely.
Pickpocket’s face is pocked,...

‘My paintings have no titles because I do not wish them to be considered illustrations or pictorial puzzles’, Still wrote. ‘If properly made visible they speak for themselves.’ In a letter discussing this work, he explained that the red at the lower edge was intended to contrast with and therefore emphasise the depths of the blue.

Instead of empty in the whispering grasses,
Down the Five at Forest Lawn
On the set, the makeup girl brings me two raw eggs and a shot of gin
When I give it all up for that little blue pill

Eileen Myles - Tasha
She prefers
my phone &
using my
computer
w out the burden
of her life
last night
I described
it open
a circle
she kisses
my knee
its life
that is
my name
they thought
she had
a lot
I think
it’s enough
I mean
it’s astonishing
if I had (his)
I could
feel everything
but as it is
I know
what it is
I love your
lips.
