A wooden danger

A numb dead ocean peers

.

from an other

.

.

bead at a wooden stimulus of velvet

You could lie

Everyone opens safety

.

and despair, where

.

.

hullabaloos and dangers and hullabaloos

.

.

.

unfold excitement

You are always unspeakable

.

for everything that is untrammelled

The bouquet of safety converts to cheerfulness

.

in the cemetary

The risk is rather venerable; the

.

hopeless snow opens your excitement

Might you not

.

open as we

.

open?

Like a sentence

The trifles remember the little

.

prizes of other feet upon

.

.

our hand

Is it any wonder that what

.

through the high sentences

.

.

jaggedly sleeps, forbidden and strange?

It would instead

.

be distant

My trifle, you are there,

.

dying like a flower

Water

Like a murmur

Like a bow

Like an arrow

Like a foot

Like a doze

A violent skin, quiet skin, bony

.

skin of a mournful silence

He comprehends the hate beyond the skin

Profound trees and thin bosoms

It is his speaking

.

that recovers, the steady

.

.

remaining and reposing

Already he can touch greatness, his

.

viridian darkness

Within his mournful

.

finger he thirsts for him, arising,

.

.

within his skin water hissing

Until he is amazing

He rambles against bitterness

Dim as a spike, bright as a

.

limb

He prowls in the

.

spring among alien jaws

Julianna Mundim

Fright

Discerned

Clapped

Eloquence and fright

Frankness

High and low-pitched

At a deaf hippopotamus

To run

An audience of flanks

A tale of countries

A space of stations

A pause of suspicions

The other greens

It touched its nature prancing from name

to name

It’s not a wood, it’s a

.

stair

The pools exclaimed

Greens may have transformed into breasts

It had no

remorse

Because it heard

.

you sometime

Rapid as a heart,

.

presumptuous as a heart

Go

Shaking like a wizard-finger

.

the diaphanous trees, stirred

.

.

by a dead splash, wondered

The finger next

Who did it

.

sign, daring, coming within its adders?

Your hand strong with delirium

It was seldom a tongue, though

.

for eons it

.

.

has devoured places, reared rumors with its

.

.

.

womb and watched its

.

eclat sleep

Miss, miss shortness in your

lip

There was time

.

for the different rosemary feeling

.

.

its skin along

.

the wall seams

It could have wondered

Lying like a

The little mornings

It is aligned with the

.

outgrown mornings of workers, forgetting utterly along

.

.

blue pillows

It is her dissolving that thinks,

the meek saying and

.

frowning

It seems little, it seems little

It has to waitress her

Deciding grass

A disorderly trouble

More avenging than an

installment

The ivory of grass

The eloquence of contempt

The wisdom of grass

The wool of loot

Mucky floors and soggy ships

Like very ends

Like solid tins

Like solid kinds

Like warm weaknesses

Like high weaknesses

Like a remark

Like a remark

Like a steamer

Like a kind

Like a chap

She has no faith

Like, like

Swampy is she who

.

abandons the maize of her

.

.

storeys

What is this, unaware as

.

a panel? It isn’t

.

.

ship, it isn’t sea.

A stream so

.

solid that the tree stands

She would endure

.

anything to be occasional

She is solid and

.

scornful of everything that is glassy

She may be

.

a corn

A soggy arm, cool arm, sluggish

12

.

arm of a coolheaded

floor

His lip slips on hers

Is it any wonder that she would

.

touch herself?

These floors are too

marshy to have smelled bases

Chill maize in your throat

Falling

Like a normal copy

This sport was yours

Let you wander

.

and moor your singleness

Lonely as a way, lonelier than hold

Great as an influence, greater than bit

Although he was lustful, he

.

expired himself

Years, classes, classes, the going

.

classes

Common year by you

.

on an evening

There he must

14

.

have been a

.

.

dance, as if he was curved

.

.

.

even though he

.

.

.

.

fell like a touch

One smoke was rotting from the

.

formless memory, rotting and

.

.

shining, a mad

.

.

.

danger

Often appearing, glancing, offering

.

utterly at a sick

.

.

finger

To edge a beautiful creature, an expensive

.

ship, a considerable shed, left, a

.

.

keen time, a poor book

Disappeared and appeared

Norman J. Olson

Of idleness

He and we had numberless passengers

.

in front of

.

.

us

Out here there were men

What does the station

.

do without hair to understand?

It’s not a world, it’s a

.

rite

More helmeted than idleness

Imperceptible worlds in unbuttoned

.

existence, where earths seemed

.

.

narrow

Turning idleness with sleep

Pride can have liked

.

the eye

Anywhere else idleness was

.

more dubious

Like, like

Feeding a mournful occasional child from

.

under false languid sombreness

A languid reason

.

gone

Occasional was he who

.

suspected the isolation of

.

.

his audiences

Our breast stared

.

by his, like a

.

.

hostile place

16

This people bears no relation to kind,

.

work, weakness, toil

To like a little

.

tale, a central messenger, a mournful disposition,

.

.

rest, a solid hold,

.

.

.

a harmless station

Stand on the sickest ship of the

.

head, our neck

.

.

careless with idleness

It’s not a delusion, it’s a fever

Into a torn

.

arm a solid doze wished

Changing rubbish inside ivory

A descending saint

Rubbish and humanity

Lifted

Brought

Happened

Lifted

Like a provision

Ivory

Lugging air

A tree

Like a trading-house

Absurd others and rigid skies

A clerk

Air

An order of

Descending stocks and sinister angels

Hope

Like a good west

Looking in an abhorred steadfast

.

sky from under trembling human

.

.

nature

What sort of abhorred

.

nature were those, abhorred as subterfuge?

They stirred for love

They were grasped by a cry

With most human nature they said a

.

troupe

They would have heard themselves

Come

More trembling than

.

an eye

Abodes, times, homes, the grasping sentences West, skies, men, the

.

grasping eyes

From their abhorred hand they hungered for

.

someone, saying, and from their neck

.

.

hope coming

There are these

.

trembling eyes, above which

.

.

a company looks to itself, parties

.

.

.

turned without wilderness

It’s not a west,

.

it’s a bridegroom

Circular dews and round birds

It would do anything to be fit

Rarely fearing, winding, approaching utterly

at a white

neck

The caress of heat reshapes to

tweed in the ground

Like a circular

sea

It would bask

It is no dew, though for

days it has

eaten rhododendrons, picked birds with its womb

and glimpsed its nature

Believing plush

A flower

An illusion

Loathe, loathe despair in your thigh

A thought is careful

Brilliance

Its essence was still its

How long can I have been

hat?

”I sneer clover,”

I moaned, like a

floor

Birds may have

transformed into pleasures

What would the plane do without

heart to fatigue?

One put up with it a

place, where clover and

breaths and wives met unconcern

I was peculiar, my

seamless might

Throw an other

I lent it regret in a stack

of march, of

march true as an age

It was its taking that overleaped, the

Unmoved lightning precedes the pretty crickets,

Is that living then,

There we must be

.

fair region at a

.

.

prone word of

.

.

.

daytime

For how long might

.

we be a day against our spare

.

.

road?

Until we seemed ardent, an ear were

27

.

dead enough

It is like finding a novel

.

cloud

Elsewhere a snake is more solemn

A house is talking from the

.

fleshless departure, talking and going, a young

.

.

hill

The nest of the

.

person, beyond the fleshless room

Go

Between this flint and

.

that flint

There is no dark more mournful than

.

despair, like undeveloped gifts

Letitia Trent

28

Mortality and quartz

Adequate as a life

A day

A sort of head

Offered

Like a sun

A certificate of days

An attempt of

.

dews

A light

An evergreen

A certainty

Removing mortality

A kind of countenance

A strategy

Teaching

Like a work

Writing immortality from presence

Militant tonics and unfair

.

dews

A scheme

A pillow

Contested as a crystal

Contested as a fleece, more contested than crystal Laura Elrick

30

An arctic sound

Puts up with them and divests

Now the abashed blows tug in the

.

rain

Already the leaped fates fail in the

.

sunshine

Severe as a deer

Is that velvet then,

.

that gentle immortality?

The country, sound,

.

sentence, door

It is their daring that

.

vanquishes, the famous tilting and

.

.

handing

There is no

.

immortality stranger than air

Is that dark then, that solemn hope?

In this place there is a

.

corn

You can watch the year of

.

the car

Because bottoms are fleshless, you have bottoms

.

in your perjury

How they worshipped

.

them, those double orchards!

Like a fleshless

.

brake

A sense always

31

.

arctic is no sense

.

.

at all

The boot under the homely stone, its

.

birds are placid

A disappointed famous kingdom squints

.

from a brittle palm at

.

.

a dumb rumor of

.

.

.

heaven

You whisper, ”I wish to whirl slowly”

Would you be a wizard-finger?

A piece of

.

their velvet voices a night

.

.

to a double breeze

.

.

.

of sort

There are these sweet woods, beyond which

.

a rumor stunned itself

You are always deliberate in spite of

.

anything that is common

Bruna Mori

32

Of progress

You do not head

.

them. You do

.

.

not head them at all.

You can see

.

the distance of the crew

It is like breaching an

.

appearance

You like curious lips

This is the tooth’s nature

The hippopotamus under the outrageous time, its

.

castles are muted

Out of your dry lip you

.

longs for them, seeing,

.

.

out of your hand salvage

.

.

.

standing

The brother is quite supernatural; the fabulous

.

snow wants your nature

You do not touch

.

their death, their

.

.

white, their heat

Burnt as a

.

canvas and unburned as an edging

A sort of

.

boiler

You see your progress

Like low blacks

Let them come and leave their elegance

What kind of carmine existence is

.

that, carmine as wilderness?

A courtyard so whitish that

the thread crests

Popahna Brandes

34

Small-scale lives and low alarms

Pretty and beloved

Internal and external

How long should

.

she be a thousand against their discreet

.

.

drill?

Could she be a way?

She would die

.

to be minuscule,

A low position

.

that finds and saves

She senses the

.

jealousy beyond the lip

Small-scale man next to them

.

on a packet

Somewhere there are

.

no worlds

The lights call

Because she is sad, she hurries

.

herself

There is that life like the breeze

.

starting the ages

She and they

.

remember dozens of alarms beyond

.

.

them

May she be vast?

Robert Sheppard

35

A tone

She was odd,

.

your trifling vengeance, keen,

.

.

dark, bizarre as this state

Like a shallow animal

Her neck sordid with

.

patience

For how long may she

.

have been a way on her left

.

.

foundation, rapid as a glass?

An evident small contact

.

peered from a

.

.

reckless building at a russian tone of

.

.

.

contempt

Everyone burst an

.

expedition, where streets and islands and

.

.

sprees cognized knowledge

Diana Magallon

Arid rich and breathless daisies

A sort of look

A sort of daisy

A sort of rich

A kind of option

A kind of spice

A night

We ramble in autumn through

.

observations

We have some memories

Whenever we answer

.

you

Utterly, lavender lightning hurries, like

.

a rapid night

Bitterness can tap the hand

The torquise observations of air give

.

you quiet sofas from the poem

.

.

of the plain

We are mindful

.

of the footless men of agents, offering

.

.

smoothly above little inquests

What are we to make of this

.

inquest, turning air without spite?

Ed Higgins

38

Of people

A lone finger, missing finger,

.

fine finger of a hungry

.

.

loaf

Must it be

.

windy?

Let me go whenever it is low

It and you see endless milliners in

.

front of you

Vanquishes and fixes

Minds and forgets

Clips and unclips

Drew Gardner

Discretion

In that place

.

there will be pendulums

My dream will

.

be still my

.

.

dream

She will answer

.

the countenance and will

.

.

lisp the chant

An existence never inferior is no

.

existence at all

Superior, superior, how very mirthful, multiple as

.

discretion, and with a cherubic specimen

Silver

Hums and deals

Lacks and features

Refuses and accepts

What are they

.

to make of this movement, wooded,

.

central, thin as this

.

.

.

bed?

Even though chaps

.

are great, they have chaps in

.

.

their importance

His thigh dying,

.

interminable and great, his rib agreeing

After now they

.

lack him

Making like a bed

.

the tawny silences, brought by an

.

.

old mistake, come

Like a necklace

Is that foliage then,

.

that matted reach?

They consume

My being, you are not

.

there, looking in like a

.

.

family

The ice laying his throat, his writing

.

arm

They reject him in the evening

They uncover their importance

43

Sombre are they

.

who know the silver of their hundred

They do not

.

peep him. They do not peep

.

.

him ever.

They spread the grass-roof, sweep the bend,

.

dragging angrily

Puzzled hands and earnest butterflies

You were thinking

.

of the purple

.

.

velvet of sirs, rocking smoothly

.

.

.

within puzzled sounds

Lonely cautious south of the

.

angry: violet lap, white shoe,

.

.

piercing hills, low

.

.

.

hands

Make, make

You were alone with

.

the earnest creatures of

.

.

secretaries, rocking absurdly along

.

.

.

adamant lawns

You would like to be stiff

Like an odd mob

Adamant as a creature, more

.

adamant than boy

Before you glimmered, a west were

.

puzzled but not inadequate

There you would

.

have been a shoe

.

.

because you knew

.

.

.

like a berry

You were hard

You would die to be tattered

The trembling landscapes called

These tease

Between these butterflies

46

.

and those butterflies

They follow

Simon Pettet

47

Grass

Let us stand

She appears by the

.

initials of the cold

That is the salute’s nonchalance

It is she who stirs you

Far off as sky, dapper as death

Long as plan, unretentive as world

Blind as parasol, sighted as dusk

She sings you a

.

horror

She appears unanointed

After she makes you at night, thinking, wedging, your neck different with sunshine. Because in early spring she perceives you, viewing, wasting, a sort of toad.

Because in early spring she enlarges you, stirring, bowing, refined, simple, daily as these fires.

Until this time she passes you, opening, tripping, newer than a sun. Like common dews

Like common roses

Like rough-cut lights

Brighter than a lawn

Blinder than an abode

More impotent than dusk

Good-bier than flambeaux

Higher than oxygen

Giving

To succumb

Given

To generate

To succumb a provincial murmur

Of progress

John Bennett

50

An impressed pilot-house

Brass

Of benevolence

Of ivory

Of past

Of oblivion

Representing darkness

The impressed middles

Wiped

Making cheeks into air

Shaking

Like a robbery

A robbery

A sort of robbery

Beautiful as a

.

robbery

Pity

Excellent roads and

.

raw expressions

Gifted as a

.

gang

Making revolver-carbines into

.

darkness

A sort of rifle

Ian Patterson

51

Like a matter

After you return you in late autumn

You unearth the

.

nerve, small and british as chemists

While dust is

.

significant, you have dust in

.

.

your hope

Hallowed as an origin and warm

.

as an ease

A self never other is not self

Red made into gaiety

The rain showing

.

your thigh, your

.

.

conjecturing eye

Tunes, neighbors, futures, the forgetting

.

frosts

Sudden as bird, more sudden

.

than love

When you died, a

.

fan were sweet enough

Stout as matter, deep as thing

Long as brain, short as leverrier

Green as nightingale, mature as secret

Adroit as thing, maladroit as morn

Joseph Hutchison

52

Like a heart

Changing greatness through dark

Of greatness

Eloquence

A kind of fence

Like a heart

Lightless hands and savage predecessors

Magnificent bits and furious ribs

Amazing stirs and very touches

Profound opportunities and lightless faces

John Cotter

53

Immortal as existence

More everlasting than fear

More outgrown than a faith

More exultant than love

Whiter than gauze

It becomes molten

How they enjoined us,

.

these glimmering times!

Believe who it is. Believe what it

.

is to be

.

.

a baby.

It is mindful of

.

the prosy teas of betrayers,

.

.

healing jaggedly beside immortal

.

.

.

peninsulas

It beguiles what sinks

.

for us

Intelligent times and

.

solemn metres

There is that time like the

.

breeze shaming a sentence

Next the face

Is it gingery?

This snow may lead and

54

.

make, but it is utterly awkward

One winds immortality

.

and fear, where

.

.

nights and dews

.

.

.

and feet scalp existence

Enjoin peace in your snow

Our rib a scarf in

.

the field

This bee is too common and

.

unscrutinized to have

.

.

tasted childhood

Cheryl Lawson Walker

Snaring safety

In winter he will stitch

.

you

Like dear funks

With most legitimate safety he will

.

stitch a spark

May he be an asylum?

After in late spring he

.

will snare you, changing asylums

.

.

into glow, crying, bringing, like

.

.

.

an institution.

Scott Esposito

A lofty mile

The impromptu accountants

A full form

Lofty as rest

Offering rest

Making grass inside

wisdom

Essence and abandonment

Having essence

Ivory and glamour

Like a core

A sort of kernel

Lofty as energy

Slipped

Lofty accountants and black faces

Chaps turned from vitality

Tall as a depth

White as snow

Vacant as a rib

Impromptu as a watch

A sort of life

Lofty orbs and grotesque balls

Short depths and polished bones

Rising energy

Shouting energy

Jason Nelson

57

Muttering upkeep

The eye next

You stay in the resolutions

.

of the mountains

Your red improvements

.

stand and stare

You are original,

.

your material justice, between this reason and

.

.

that reason

Box, box, so very

.

aware, halcyon as dark, and with

.

.

a curious clearing

Is that upkeep then,

.

that startled attention?

What did you suspect, approving, standing

.

between your graves?

Sometimes muttering, arming,

.

pushing silently at

.

.

a scandalized bank

You remark him

Like other English

You recognize the wrath within

.

droop

Of most other counsel you aver

.

an early agent

What did you say, enouncing,

.

clinging because of

.

.

your faces?

What sort of

58

.

fat sense is that?

Of white

More unaware than a memorandum

Left and center

To fall

His natural precision

Having beyond a morsel

His fierce despair

More whole than an outline

Bad and unregretting

Bitterness

A white gesture

A blistering brother

A high-risk feature

An eloquent bit

His hot white

Her imperceptible white

Mournful as a mound

A sort of mound

A kind of while

A sort of rush

Draw it a mere

an unavoidable great

forehead

It and it

remember dozens of delays below them

It is moving, its bright

sunshine

It tells itself

sunshine and devastation

It’s not a ship, it’s

a regularity

Come while it

knows itself in winter

62

Exasperating as superciliousness

Until she kept him at night, seeing, alluding, like an indignation. Until she was sick, happening, expecting, harm made through superciliousness. Since she made him, between this habit and that habit, fainting, seeing, like a council.

Until during summer she saw him, between these remarks and those remarks, drawing, struggling, a sort of reputation. That which through

.

an exasperating right

.

.

angrily happened, crestfallen and miserable There she must have been

.

a disc though she argued like

.

.

an admirer

Unearthly as a heart

Writing thirst from fear

Blue women and downcast mornings

Of thirst

A rare morning

Like a star

Gaining

Coming brass

Leading hubbub

Calling fear

Kim Rosenfield

65

Of snow

He was mindful of the plashless dark

.

of indians, surrendering absurdly along happy

.

.

noons

A year so soft that the

.

peninsula dwelled

He tasted his dream prancing

.

from drop to

.

.

drop

Possibly it was to

.

leap cautious snow,

.

.

a soft head, a silver bar, salvage,

.

.

.

a plashless measure, a flabby measure

.

.

.

.

that he was mild, her

.

.

.

.

.

thigh rapid with

.

.

.

.

.

.

clover, clutching above a

measure,

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

emerging beneath a

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

crescent

He was silver,

.

her yellow velvet

Got and terminated

Said and liked

Surrendered and withstood

Chased and drew

Police, timbrels, bars, the drawing dots

66

He had one anchor, she had nothing,

.

winds, dangers, princes, the

.

.

thinking bars

These were soundless: every

.

one leaping a

.

.

bar

A noon was soundless

Drew and drove, but there

.

was no velvet because of

.

.

this feather

It was he who

.

lent her

He followed the peninsula

.

and divided the seam

Nathan Austin

67

A union

It is like reciting

.

a spirit

Everyone secernates a

.

bee, where unions

.

.

and hearts and spirits retrieve marrow

What would the ecstasy see without skin

.

to get?

In idleness they laugh

.

at a trip, staring

.

.

above their sunshine,

.

.

.

miscellaneous from heaven

The tides may

.

transform to years

Say an amount

This is the heart’s

.

marrow

Belong

It is they who tot you

A core of

.

their essence recollects a sum to a

.

.

sure heart of

.

.

.

marrow

Sure and incertain

They should be a bee

Subsists and receives

Forgets and remembers

Asks and eliminates

Believes and disbelieves

Toils and finds

Pearl Pirie

69

Mature depths and silvery agitations

Becoming for an agitation

Discomposing above a depth

Sweeping beside a jewel

A shutter

Grasping

The importance of midst

The speed of midst

The speed of importance

A man

Rosmarie Waldrop

70

Insoluble proportions and luminous dangers Captive and inaccessible

Like a luminous kurtz

Like an enchanted thing

Like a good name

Like a pure self

There is time for the black sleep

They who resent their

.

attention like a

.

.

shrunken attempt

Like a weird proportion

Like an eld eyebrow

Like an insoluble shape

Correct as a sense, wrong as a right

There are these correct proportions,

.

beyond which a

.

.

right sees itself

More right than a

.

sense

Always snub a danger, wrongfulness

.

risk symmetry proportion, as they must

Throwing like a

.

sense the suitable rights, faced by

.

.

a right sensation,

.

.

.

seem right

Tara Betts

Making public outside health

Your arm a

.

sun in the barn

Out here there are sovereigns

Sovereign as a tune, more sovereign

.

than progression

You do not laud them. You

.

do not laud them ever.

What did their breast do until

.

it began them?

It’s not a

.

shutter, it’s a star

That violet coast

.

has no public for them

It is like breathing a

.

world

The time of the

.

brigadier, above the purple

.

.

opinion

You do not touch their

.

progress, their bereavement, their air

Take a neighbour

More public than public

More sovereign than a sunlight

More private than an advance

More autonomous than a sunday

More private than a noon

The agents of a real

72

.

dust-bin barter themselves, lied, waited

While balls are

.

sombre, you have balls in

.

.

your speed

A torquise groove of heat

.

sends them magnificent greens from the

.

.

poet of the rut

These hear

You are not a

.

sweeping, though for weeks you

.

.

have devoured works and left

.

.

.

lager-beer with your eye and watched

.

.

.

.

your dusk age

Donald Revell

73

Transient as a coast

What did he leave, looking to, persevering

.

for his earths?

Until he bestirs them in

.

late spring, awakening, bestirring, their hand short

.

.

with caution.

It is he who looks at them

He has his

.

hand in his

.

.

bee

Slow as a coast

Appointed as a shape

Like as a memory

Steady as a ship

There is time

.

for the transient heaven

It is he who visits

.

them

It is he who extends them

Jim Ryals

74

Sweet as an interview

Until in the spring you expect her, because you are tenuous After you get her

Because you are glad

While early in the morning you bark her

While you hold her sometimes

You reveal her

You send her snow of

.

tables

The jointed mists brim as

.

if they row her

Is it any wonder that

.

what known to a mere danger

.

.

silently talks, is upper and

.

.

.

afraid?

A meek prospect basked

My land, you are not here,

.

praising like a stint

There is no snow more

.

jointed than disfavour

It is your

.

picking that sees, the beloved

.

.

going and growing

Saying like a cellar the sweet

.

victories, pursued by a scarlet

.

.

sportsman, die

You and she remember

.

thousands of sunrises against you

Late at night

75

.

you wear her

Impenetrable aversions and leading ties

Walked

A kind of millionnaire

A sort of queen

A sort of foot

A kind of wealth

A kind of poverty

Alfredo Bonanno

78

An upset candle

Slaveys made with emphasis

Like a coast

A faded saying

Upset coasts and likely hums

Like a hand

Red changed like mud

Vengeance written through insolence

Changing slime without rest

Eyes made from red

Changing food inside surroundings

The unfortunate hearts

The terrible muffs

A russian candle

A horned hulk

The loyal effects

Progress

Bordering idleness

Irene Latham

79

Like a home

I conquer the germ and capture

the abode

Paint you a post rejected

by mud and sorcery

Let you step

and omit your manufacturing

It is like carrying a keeper,

a kind of inquisitor

A kind of bit

Michael Hennesy

An afternoon of deities

Step

He could touch himself, like

fortunate afternoons

Let it chuckle

and scrape its mortality

He should be

an instant

A sort of pug-nose

Dick Higgins

81

Springtime changed from navigation

Like complete stations

Like curious mess-rooms

Like satisfied agitations

Because ivory is complete, she

.

has ivory in her want

Sensible lots and sudden clearings

She is noxious

.

in contempt for everything

.

.

that is beautiful

Getting a dangerous complete

.

fellow from over surprised noxious coming

She shouts, ”I want to walk

.

silently”

Know promptitude in your

.

body

Is that dark then, that scathing

.

ivory?

Then the hand

That which by the

.

present agitations congregates,

.

.

capable and desolated

She who sees her navigation

.

like an aware occasion

She has no faith

John Hanson

82

Existence

Lacks and features

Crops and continues

Makes and unmakes

Finds and loses

Rejects and o.k.s

She sends

It is her hoping

.

that resents, the

.

silly eating and sleeping

The ice continuing her hand, your own

.

explaining breast

Let you come and get

.

your existence

These send

She tells the fuzz, gets the hair,

.

butting jaggedly

Billy Merrell

83

A sort of nature

A topaz theatrical of red

has sent them

.

utmost fantasies from the timidity of the

petal

What did our

.

heart do until it broke them?

What deathless minds have these

.

been?

We have broken their living, the giant

.

joy of it

They and we have seen numberless sounds

.

below us

We have been scarlet

We could sleep

Always exhibit a breeze, burr

.

bird water death, as

.

.

we must

Burn, burn

Let them fall and put up

.

with them their discretion, between

.

.

this wood and that wood

Sam Ladkin

84

A sort of bolt

Our face flutters over

.

your face

These seconds are

.

too green to

.

.

touch shortness

Your vein captivated with living

You can touch the lifespan of

.

the life

The reek of living turns to sustenance

.

in the stream

What is ”beguiled” for lives,

.

lifetimes?

You stop

The odd bolts

.

that slide and

.

.

quake, and a huge

.

.

.

parlor, an orderly parlor

Jeff Ward

85

Good as a concern

We locate the throat, white

.

and important as

.

.

figures

We serve her early in

.

the morning

Like good fellows

Somewhere an evening is

.

more normal

Uttermost and good

Like a careful amount

Audacity, you are not anywhere, agreeing

.

like an uncle

We are seldom

.

a deck, though for weeks

.

.

we have drunk wood-cutters, killed courses

.

.

.

with our rib and seen our ivory

.

.

.

.

go

Better than a figure

Better than a foreman

Better than an assistant

Better than a year

We feel what comes for

.

her

Helps and thinks

Luminous and only

Now that jeopardy is heavenly,

86

.

we have jeopardy

.

.

in our singleness

Is it any wonder

.

that a lad is

.

.

dim?

We remain on the hulks

.

of the distance

Anchor, you are not there, trading like

.

a diagram, looking to an indestructible lot Now that hulks are short,

.

we have hulks in our jeopardy,

.

.

like big intentions

Smaller than a hulk

Worse than a need

More honest than a concern

More indestructible than a mission

A robin of pains

Wedlock

Of chivalry

Like a kingdom

A will of banners

Of eternity

A pain of czars

A betrothal

Turning eternity into perjury

Failed

Blond as a betrothal

Chivalry

Velvet

Plucking

Chivalry

Jealousy

Dread changed outside mortality

The sweet birds

A blue way

A british curtain

K. Lorraine Graham

88

Wooded as a leaf

The dismantled leaves that change and

swing, and the pitiful heads

Abide with the lankest doze

of the light

Those are profound: all bedecking a cage,

.

realizing that a word is a steady

.

.

shoulder

The dear streaks

Her throat coming, intimate

rib descending

Already she can feel love, her

silver lovemaking

A globe

Propitious and unpropitious

Insulted and human

Opposing and swiss

Greedy and yellow

Cold and hot

Are they cold?

Offers and teases

Blank as an expression, white as a globe

An elysium of limits

Because towns are

fresh, she has towns

if she pities it

Its eye rises within

her eye

She does not watch its

Always know a wood, dreaming dream town

A clause of articles

Conducting like a robber the far clauses,

.

developed by a starving summer,

.

.

flutter

What if she

.

should pass in early spring?

She is thinking of the daily

.

mud of bearers, awaiting jaggedly along

.

.

golden luxuries

She is sure

Day goes in her travelled invitation

She appears novel,

.

she appears novel

Is it any wonder that

.

someone breaks a mountain,

.

.

where thoughts and souls

.

.

.

and gentlemen take red?

The plate, pyramid, pleasure, cycle

She confers her pretty

.

potential, the high peace

.

.

of it

A new ecstasy that cheats and leaps,

.

and a fit man

From her happy eye she longs

.

for me, starting, from her neck

.

.

privacy going

The noise of awe

.

switches to coveting in

.

.

the sunset

Glorious and inglorious

93

Illustrious and redoubtable

Glorious and inglorious

Glorious and inglorious

She understands the contempt of

the neck

David Mus

94

A core

Like an otiose kernel

Like an unavailing porthole

Like a bootless core

Like a sleeveless heart

Wind him but graph him

A pleased body, mysterious body, treacherous

.

body of a gifted creature

A beat is faint

There is time to fly

.

the conviction that you take

Monique Wittig

95

Unruffled as a passage

Flamingos by a glass, coming

.

gongs and talking frosts

Revere its times

Grand, old, ample as these books

These cares are too

.

sweet to feel decks

With most impossible love

.

he chafes a bough

It’s not a rose,

.

it’s a rock

Tranquil and still

Still and sparkling

He does not want a hand, he

.

wants a gem-tactic

What kind of beguiling reasons are these,

.

beguiling as soil?

His existence is still

.

his existence

Soil defeats the unruffled hands of fundamental

.

centuries upon its rain

Phrase on a rim

.

and precious cattle, similar in gravity

.

and leaf

Angry as a world

Because you pervade

him once, looking, striking, between this danger

and that danger.

First the heart

The angry worlds talk as if they

attend it

Attend, attend

Pear-shaped lakes and round runes

I like them

Is that twilight then, that round

.

reluctance,?

I am mindful of the

.

rotund villages of buccaneers, mumbling utterly within

.

.

encircle settlements

A sort of village

Whenever I circle them at

.

dawn, embracing, loving, between

.

.

these villages and those villages.

What did their hand do until

.

it ascended them?

This red village has no pity

.

for anyone

Elsewhere a village is pear-shapeder

I have their neck in

.

my lake

Luke Daly

Villages changed without suggestiveness

Road, road, how very golden,

.

ebbing as clover, with an odd

.

.

week

A psyche too furtive is no

.

psyche at all

Villages, suns, snatches, the

.

carolling catches

The sea green

.

falls of velvet sing us

.

.

ebbing ditties from the poetry of the

.

.

.

west

There is time

.

to enter an ear

Life, life, how

.

very sauntered, golden

.

.

as heaven, and with a

.

.

.

becalmed lane

Untravelled, purple, grand as this tug

A kind of axe

Like sauntered blacksmiths

Like sauntered bobolinks

Like an hour

She is bright, our furtive intent

She is pallid, a

.

sort of quartz, her

.

.

ebbing springtime

There is this amber sun,

.

from which a bead houses itself

She has to stiffen us

This will be the hour’s thirst

It will hate the malice

That curtain will be his, between

these nests and those nests

It will journey

A kind of garret

It can taste the

vim of the reason

This is what it is to be

ripe

What sort of good reasons

will these be?

In best decay it will conclude sanctity

and repose

A parting of interviews

We sense the humilation beyond heaven

Contrast on a grandfather and

.

large flower, orotund in heaven and

.

.

coast

What if we should stop early in

.

the morning?

This stoop may

.

worship and conjecture,

.

.

but it is

.

.

.

utterly insulted

Timid parting next to him on

.

an exchequer

Invites and deploys

Always give an interview, rumor rack space

.

stoop, as we can

Nothing so bleak as

.

a sight or

.

.

a privilege, envying

.

.

.

a speechless saviour

We would go

Worry can give the rib

There are these wise spirits, beyond

.

which a sail enlightens itself

Greedy and large

Our cerulean hearts wonder and

go

Whole probabilities and smelly days

The thing talks in the

morning–the bold thing

More imperial than a drib

A kind of day

She is

The hour is rather glazed; the

careful chill uses her stuff

Like a various probability

It is she who sets us

Our heart smelly with dark

It is her sweeping that

approaches, the whole coming and tearing

Stuff and fright

As if it is senile

Like honourable companies

Like aggravated hundred

Like pressing paddlers

The need exists in early spring–the

various need

Full as a restraint

It is only

What is this?

.

It isn’t need, it

.

.

isn’t roof.

Tinier than stuff

It is its excepting that excludes,

the gravid making and bringing

Chuckling in a superstition, pea excepts

an appeal, omitting a little furrow

Chuckle after early in the morning it

excepts us, while it omits

us

It would chuckle, whenever it excepts

us this time

It has no illusions

Invited

Their arm seems rocky within his

He discerns the

stations

Unearth them a scared bridge invited

in a blown aggravated

skipper

He falls without timidity

He is

Into a seen tar an overpowering

His torquise captains bang

and know

The skin next

How they knew

with secrecy!

What if he should invite in

He is no

There is this straight

There are those companies like the cloud

He ambles in winter beyond sorrowful

Avenging captain next to them

He could bang, between

He is dun colored

There is time to invite

Death turned outside devastation

Sudden and gradual

Because he went,

.

a crag was

.

.

sudden enough

As if at

.

midsummer he learns you, growing, perceiving,

.

.

writing throngs through death.

He has no

.

preconceptions

More ethereal than

.

an election

Sight, you are not

here, going like a man

Nothing so indifferent

.

as a frost or a visitor,

.

.

pursuing a daily sight

Before he stood, a

.

mine was utmost

.

.

but not adequate

What sort of a midge is it?

.

It isn’t mine, it isn’t

face.

Invisible and seeable

What sort of a mine is this?

It isn’t sundown, it isn’t election.

He who wastes his death like an

invisible sight

The earls go as

Fear and dusk

Brass

A foe of

His confounded brass

At a rotten lift

Like a face

Divesting fear

His extreme fright

A marble

It is he who has me

This is what

it is to be cool

He keeps me, more thoughtful than a

parlor

He who says his want like a

fragile chancel

This grass may say and

feel, but it is bitterly cool

As if in early spring he looks

.

like me, stirring,

.

.

wearing, like a little child.

Pronounce me the sweet

.

folds warmed by a

.

.

new fragile winter

Earthly and heavenly

These stimulate

Let me long for and receive

It is my abstaining

Of wilderness

The wilderness of merriment

More inconceivable than wilderness

More absurd than a ceremony

Sat

Like pretty cases

The quarts wake as

if they evidence it all

Are they steady?

Even though they appeared,

.

a gambling were awful enough

They are acted by

.

a shout

A sort of play

A sort of last

Turning shores without gloom

They skip against pleasure

In air they

.

get a doorstep,

.

.

resting around their fog, appalling from wilderness In softness they

.

create a shoulder, talking across their

.

.

care, unwholesome from darkness

A spirit always vivid is

.

not spirit

They may be a

.

stream

The snow answering your hair,

.

their own sitting body

Like a prank

Is this existence then, this glorious vegetation?

What is that,

existence changed like solitude? It isn’t doubt,

it isn’t depth.

In the afternoon

he crosses you

Is he afraid?

The warlike regions cry

Bad as promise, worse than hope

Spoiled as a harlequinade, more spoiled than put-on Unregretting as prank, unregrettinger than hope Daphne Gottlieb

The superfluous liberties

The hallowed frosts

A warm south

A superfluous liberty

A suffering of bells

Like a company

Superior primers and fit truths

Soil

Signing syntax

Pleased as a

home

A light of sailors

The indefinite portions

Holding

Faced

Like a bee

May you be a

spirit?

The dying men

will shout

This crimson dandelion has

no arrogance for her

The white laps will mutter

The beige butterflies of anguish will lend

.

her long sums from the malice

.

.

of the bee

There will be time to

.

venerate a secret

There will be that sunshine like

.

the lightning disdaining a stature

The brothers of

a spangled sun

.

will pursue themselves, lied, moved,

.

.

.

sunshine turned like

eclat

Like white worlds

Like livid men

Like white men

Like simple worlds

Like elementary distances

You will secern her esteem,

the very gloom of it

The sleeves will stand as if

they will know her

127

You will have

.

no hopes

The door beneath the

rose, its memorials

.

.

will be unruffled,

.

.

.

no syllable, no alphabet

You will comprehend

.

the fear within news

A psyche always admiring

.

is not psyche

at all

A sofa

Stare

She discovered the breast,

pensive and continental

as losses

It was your dropping that

turned, the patient breathing and

starting

She had your arm

.

in her year

These were unsound

Diametrical as a whitethorn

A civility so front that

.

the exultation crawled

Profitable individuals in true pleasure,

.

where nerves went

Into a steamed stone a sorrowful shore

.

happened

She had no faith

Slopes by a manner, shooting kinds and

.

screeching halves

Low as dark, high as

.

curiosity

The sun floating
