In this dim cave
we can go no further
Here money is key
to smooth age. Horses,
givers of guilt. Great
bags of gold.
I want obedience!
We examine this ancient
& insane theatre, obscene
like luxuriant churches
altars.
I confess
to scarvess
cool floors
stroked curtain
The actors are twice-blessed
before us. This is
too serious & severe.
Great mystery!
Timeless passion
patterned in stillness.
SEX FOR YOU
Sex for you
was thread
which binds
us even now
on this pale
planet.
To the poet
& cover-girl,
photo in color,
to armies
that join,
out on a desert,
& to Samson
& all his
generals
bound quiet
now w/ exotic
arch-angels
of dusk, in
Sumarian
& N. African
slumbers.
The bazaar is crowded
as dancers thrive.
Snake-wreaths & pleasures.
I take you to a low cave
called `Calipah`.
STAND THERE LISTENING
Stand there listening
you will hear them
tiny shapes just beyond
the moon
Star-flys, jarts,
dismal fronds
stirring ape-jaws striving
to make the morning
mail call
Cry owl.
Hark to the wood-vine.
Suckle-snake crawls, gnawing
restive
I know you.
The one who left to go
warning. Wishless now
& sullen. Transfer
deferred.
Steal me a peach
from the orange tree
grove-keeper
She fell.
What are you doing
w/ your hand on her
breast?
She fell, mam.
Give her to me.
Yes, mam.
Go tell the master
what you`ve done.
They killed him.
Later.
Going up the stairs
handcuffed
to his cell.
A shot-gun blast
Behind the back.
UNTRAMPLED FOOTSTEPS
I
Untrampled footsteps
Borderline dreams
Occasion for sinners
alive if it seems
given to wander
alone at the shore
wanton to whisper
I am no more
Am as my heart beats
live as I can
wanton to whisper
faraway sands
II
Now come into my pretty isle
My weary westward wanderer
Faraway is as it seems
& so alone shall shelter
Come along unto my sails
as weary islands go
prosper merry as I went
I shall no more the sailor
Shall I ho the sailor
III
Where were you when I needed you?
Where indeed but in some sheltered
Sturdy heaven; wasted, broken
sadly broke & one thin thing to get us thru
IV
Urchin crawl broke
spenders bleeders all
brew North
stained lot
he was lost
out on an aircraft
high above
long awkward brewer`s
shelters breed
this ugly crew
our poisoned jet
god get us love & get
us speed
To get us home again
love
Crippled by people
cut by nothing
Public housing
the incredible damage
can be cured
V
She`s my girl friend:
I wouldn`t tell her
Name but I think
you already know her
Name
is
Square fire insect
marble saffron intro
demi-rag in flames
it`s the same game
whether you call it
by her real name
VI
She lives in the city
under the sea
Prisoner of pirates
prisoner of dreams
I want to be w/ her
want her to see
The things I`ve created
sea-shells that bleed
Sensitive seeds
of impossible warships
