Time Will Help You, If You Let It

without logic or intensity

mountain stature

draped

as if the world could end this way

in the boudoir

dogs bark fantasies

"they were huge, enormous, and they multiplied."

after the party, red cocktails

pure in the beginning

spit on the ashes

escape to yet another

this is the guest room

Time will help you, if you let it

generic Memory, no particulars

no individuals, nor details

just what the Race knows and remembers

same thing, same as your

calm down, she said, relax

it was all just skin

Watching TV, TV Watched Back

patterns of disaster and decline,

I won't throw it out, I'll get it fixed

something, the motor maybe

disconnected

watching TV, TV watched back

howled among dogs of the neighborhood,

for none of us knew which tree

this is the entrance-way, right here
