8.10.99, midnite
sometimes it's easier just not to
start then
the expec-
tation of self dissolves
into inner eye
I
watch
now others pass me by
and I'm
still in love
then I'm
in pain it
jolts me
back to that
first year when I had time
energy only to letter
a day
for you
keep none for
myself inner
eye
two dogs on a hunting
trip
one drowns the other hibernates
but together both learn the
power of
dream
On a more positive note
we have been reincarnated
into something
but too baby to understand
what
inner eye stings
imagine
manatee
performed loquacion:
kiss
when everyone else is
coupling like kindling
we grow distant
into each other
she said
there was
in my dream
an angel
at the door
he gave
me a dollar
I thanked
him he
flew to
the moon
I said
I like the
part about the angel
He said
I opened
the water
and there
was a ship
but he was unable to
share this
with us
quiet intellectual who
will inevitably be lost at
sea
clever girl who will
never get her piano lessons
jokes about horse-hair
weaves a girl about
to throw a metal chair
friend stops
her
little girl who
whispers in my ear
My sister
lost her baby
or
My mom's
boyfriend treats
her nice
he gave
her $200
