Rigoberto González - The Strangers Who Find Me in the Woods
after Thomas James
The strangers in the woods must mimic squirrels and crackle
with the undergrowth. They must not flinch at the cruelty
of breaking golden leaves with their feet, or of interring stones.
And like any of these deciduous trees in autumn they must be
stingy with shadow and move deceptively across the sludge.
I listen to these strangers stirring with the evenings. I invent paths
for them to the soft edge of the lake. Each descent is as graceful
as a sink...
Lie to me. Engañame.
Johnny - How many men have you forgotten?
Vienna - As many women as you've remembered.
Johnny - Don't go away.
Vienna - I haven't moved.
Johnny - Tell me something nice.
Vienna - Sure. What do you want to hear?
Johnny - Lie to me. Tell me all these years you've waited...
Vienna - All these years I've waited.
Johnny - Tell me you'd have died if I hadn't come back.
Vienna - I would have died if you hadn't come back.
Johnny - Tell me you still love me like I love you.
Vienna - I still love you like you l...

Thom Gunn - In Trust
You go from me
In June for months on end
To study equanimity
Among high trees alone;
I go out with a new boyfriend
And stay all summer in the city where
Home mostly on my own
I watch the sunflowers flare.
You travel East
To help your relatives.
The rainy season's start, at least,
Brings you from banishment:
And from the hall a doorway gives
A glimpse of you, writing I don't know what,
Throug...

Nuar Alsadir - Fourth Person Singular
Sketch 27
A man entered the subway car at Borough Hall,
was about to sit, but just as his knees began to bend
the train jerked into motion. He stood up, as though
regaining composure after a brief humiliation,
as though it were somehow shameful to be subject
to gravity’s impersonal force, caught
in its grip, an object controlled by physics.
Sketch 64
Pleasure and disgust, the border of desire, of aesthetics,
where beauty and the uncanny meet—is this the brink
one must always live on, bare...
