Replenish Making Twine if You Like

1

   somehow dreamed together
	dish
it replenish
making twine
  if you like

tightly wolverine
he dropped
    ground

   breaking

there was wringing of the hands

  because
any credible heart could

  beat how
work spoke
	   come back to work
how work speaks

& shall swim

	blew out his dream
	  like early light
   like dawn light

& she blew her dream
  out like
    night speaks

driving in a car then

	avoiding a house
    avoid part she was playing
& her fallingwas
 in identity
	to love

unfolding was
    magic

anoher person there
who was smart in poetry

    perched to drive

wolves singing
    within the he who speaks

he she loved

  his great heart

they were wandering
   wildly uncombed

avoid what?

	stood before him
	    a house
  stood before him like a house

that dissolves

severed to bits
    &
	her head came apart

dream coda:

he sees me

 takes me roughly

& paint me goddess

I come back together again

in his arms

what matters is
we still had a bed

my body inside yours...

			things seeking an exit?

"d'amore ancora"

our cooling
			-- never

yet wheels the word

	clinging clinging to you

animal you are
    

    as you touch me
  I rise to you
      in your scent of you

"stay calm, heart"

   know my voice & its power?

& body is not dumb

*

writ/spoke
in
  folly
    the only us is tomorrow ha!

    terrestrial means passion

fucked up planet

    give us time

  time

& pay homage here

  for our love

before
pedestal of him

	bow, vulnerable

knees
 under sign of Capricorn

I ask for you: poetry's mouth

ask for you
		that
   your beauty swell in language

not that I would
 ask more but

you to you

   be what you seem
do not forget
    remain your way

I mean to say
  I love the light come through you

not yet
  mental phenomena, but

	search our demons
  out
  with fire

burn! burn!

I pause to cut
in or out of

but love
but love you stay on me

just not set sail
  but
	appear!
go on after vowel
  or twist of
  tounge

I love "you" for "it"

I......
handle it?

sifted out, a reason

   your eyes
first time hit

 bright stone to stone

you....

	remember/

I save it?

    never near exhausted
but close
    for sight of you

his altar:

the thrones are dark
the time is auspicious
go, my song
