Day 20

emit intern incessant sublimation pelvis bounce
pillow heroine gorgeous syzygy nevermind smother



nevermind my dear

you may be a gorgeous young intern
a heroine to some

but all this incessant
pelvic pillow bouncing
you are recommending

is not going to change the syzygy
of the sun moon and the earth
or indeed cure anything

most of your geriatric patients
will just emit gaseous disapproval
and would rather smother themselves
than participate
in these sublimation exercises of yours

Day 21


Erasure


sweet thing
i drown an eye
unused to flow
i weep and grieve
while i think on thee
dear friend


 
On Asparagus

i felt
these hints of rainbows
these blue evening shades
transforming my chamber pot
into a bower of aromatic perfume
 

Day 22

Human Nature














you ladle out love
in small tea spoons
just enough to keep her
from getting over you
her suffering feeds your cruelty

your need
is greater than hers

Day 23




a pretty widow
preferred her roses
at malmaison
to her short swarthy military husband

he grew on her eventually
he grew away from her eventually

she then became crazy about him
bien sur


then he divorced her
then he showed renewed interest in her

his name on her lips when she died
her name on his lips when he died

les francaises pffft !!!




 " alone again naturally"


Day 24

 
my life is a tapestry of moments
the daily rituals are my favourite
i have everything
yet
you only see nothing

Day 25 

Shadorma


i am here
you are over there
all too late

i'm sorry
no return passage this time
you have missed the boat
