Philip Metres - Prayer
Wither me to within me:
Welt me to weal me common again:
Withdraw to wear me weary:
Over me to hover and lover again:
Before me to form and perform me:
Round me to rill me liquid incisions:
Behind me to hunt and haunt me:
Down me to drown indecision:
Bury me to seed me: bloom me
In loam me: grind me to meal me
Knead me to rise: raise me to your mouth
Rive me to river me:
End me to unmend me:
Rend me to render me:

Monica Youn - Drawing for Absolute Beginners
Take any desired height, or place points for
top of head and heels. Divide into eights. . . .
8. Head tilted back between the headboard slats. Eyes glass boxes
filling up with light. Later, drained to a blue-gray, the color of
good government.
7. Thus, we see that commodification is a function of local necessity.
a. As Angelenos collect percolating shade in shallow pans, to
leach the arsenic out of the light.
b. “And then I buried it.”

Current Mood (Pocket Symphony)
Pocket Symphony is the fourth full-length album by French duo Air. The album was released in March 2007 and features collaborations with Jarvis Cocker and Neil Hannon. Pocket Symphony also incorporates some of the Japanese instruments Godin recently learned to play from an Okinawan master musician: the koto (also referred to as a Japanese floor harp) and the three-string, banjo-like shamisen. However, a press release claims that "conventional instruments continue to play a great role" in the...

Terra
Quando eu me encontrava preso
Na cela de uma cadeia
Foi que vi pela primeira vez
As tais fotografias
Em que apareces inteira
Porém lá não estavas nua
E sim coberta de nuvens...
Terra! Terra!
Por mais distante
O errante navegante
Quem jamais te esqueceria?...
Ninguém supõe a morena
Dentro da estrela azulada
Na vertigem do cinema
Mando um abraço prá ti
Pequenina como se eu fosse
O saudoso poeta
E fosses a Paraíba...
Terra! Terra!
Por mais distante
O errante navegante
Quem jamais te esque...

Philip Metres - When I Was a Child, I Lived as a Child, I Said to My Dad
Saint Paul was a jackass, my father muttered,
keystroking his tank into position in “The Mother
Of All Tank Battles.” I turned back to the screen,
maneuvering pixilated tanks. Each arrow key
altered trajectory, each cursor tap a tank blast. Fast-
forward two decades: in a cubicle outside Vegas,
Jonah joysticks his Predator above Afghanistan,
drone jockey hovering above a house on computer screen.
He knows someone’s inside. Is it his target? Who else
inside—cooking, crawling—will not o...
