the vulnerability of newness
1
slat slanty blind ~ lines shine
from that screamingsun
onto the white wall
the white sheet
the ward walls
hurried blinks for fear of being caught napping
we file, shufflefooted in invisible iron boots, one then one then one
and so.on
soon
(for our secret plans are fattening and one by one by one will lead further)
2
slat slanty blind ~ light shines
thigh lines
on his obliging skin:
i fight time
running on scree , freefalling into
so little, so much
Naked, it is love and clothed we are virtual strangers
he with no voice and I with too many words
Everything I ever said before times one hundred. It is perfect. You are the best poet I have ever read. They send shockwaves of everythingness but Ebbyised thru me, mind spirit everything.
good stuff, and good luck.
beautiful.

I don’t quite know what to comment; or whether I should even be leaving a comment. But this is as good a poetry as I have ever read. The imagery, the rhythm, the words, the sounds, the self-truth; everything mixed in, in just the right proportion.
