jubilat 6
An X that equals—
As if orchids—
A row of dark—
Impulse &
its spit—
A certain romance
reserved— The past
is always—
Both 1
Wives in

a stitch— The “bed” has been
such an anxiety— A monument
and more—
Swallow at all
talking— He gagged

The Paris Review 112
A split of silk
reseamed from spit
and a hug— Knowledge
desired, denied— Side
churches painted-in
behind Moses— Arrange
events into patterns:
charity plots right
outside, a lethal green—
A rake scrapes right
before morning— Japanese tour
groups just love—

The trees filtering— The world
hangs in a cave— Back to
a dripping— Love
as if in—
Verse 19, 3 / 20, 1
One moved to Boston
and married— The sun
bends to her in a pleated
wedding—
Rustle the cellophane
Think of him lying
The glazing slips
Keep a diary
A chorus of tiny
Great strides in
plastic— Open
the luxury— Opening
suggests a little— Swallow
a thing—
The guards have grown
He broke
down in the glowing
