Carpentry
Caught upon a crossbeam the hands that worked with
wood
the hands that worked with wood
were pierced by nails
and their work stopped l
Son of a carpenter here is your crucifix
wear it Symbol of your Father's business, too
An illiterate society heard word-of-mouth
The Word its meaning
and lexicographer number One
said all things in parables
What do you mean man
no one before knew the meaning of God?
and his work spread far by a man named Paul a Jew
so it is written
and the arms spread open of the hands that worked with
wood
became a symbol
was done remindfully
The world had sense enough when it happened
but wooden feeling
The hands that worked with wood are not still?
-verily the end is not blank-
it is written
in Paradise the woodwork is not curated
a few choice pieces of the world may be all

I by you put on Far as are stars
Knew you upon the one true time are stars
two to times shifting are stars
being too badly moved in mood far as are stars
to come to see me born again to be something born of you and we are lonely
much a part of heart-felt two and we are only mortal
you should be in the night
slightly half of me it happened in rain
in part and place of you created the atmosphere of ruin
I called girl
though only partly placing one friend lover beloved
without my really being half and rained down
but having here something truly in the place of time far as were clouds night
and thought having you instead loud thunder
feeding one feeling-view to want crowd less wind night
bathed in me night
water and water and water mellow the whistle of whispers sweet nonsense no more
shower and well-cool and felt fellow breathes breezes
or tears
is by the I put on brush the face
the dress of something haunted the gloved hand of love and nakedly
by the near untrue lightning reminds me all over
in the Gypsy hour offortune-telling far as are stars
all of a feeling incomplete blinded by starlight
are stars
lonely Astronomer tonight

All the reasons for the snows
A little white privacy opposite me a body a girl is always lovelier looking in the mind's mirror
of knees unemotionally fixed upon looks
excitement in a dress 1.
pass at the knees l there are many looks of good
over which looks direct looks looks to dye
naked-kneed looking never more private white comes a wash
but puts something urgent over these hair burns to be
in a virtuous motion are criss-accost-crossed and black dyes red and unsightly
a threat!
-casted radiance from off her knees In the bleached skin
desisting looks of this moment peached to the heart
but sits fiercely fore-showing affectless lapses of address the sun finds vanity pale
at open affront of light and the windows in the day-egregious sickroom
looks to die
Some place the young healthy girl at twenty
with particular emphasis of thighs and hips still the more light loveliness airs sentence me
loves to snow windows
over her snows to have to know
the other social look of tonal lonely beauty
and queen royalty the eye deals out by this matter only
freezing praise a captive lover clown emotionally fixed upon a girl
who knows but scorn full of eye presence to be free to retire
and winter's window in this my mind to first prefer no one unbelovedly
fantasy upon another though cult-or culture-carrier offabric
looks to disillusion my emboweled icing-delight
All the snows are snowbound with white blues of the eyes
looks ate over these snows but all the reasons for the snows are snowing
taking cold against the pane meaning less in snowblind rhythm
but my heart is snow bound to fall enchanted of first snow
are still intimate but lonely snows when it cannot look into my eyes alone
and hills and hollows' fields moon-touched when in the pane there are two of me
split middle frame
insentient insideout of hot and cold design
tending beyond seeming in the ice-platonic air
sweet-masked goon-n-thing I see laughter
distorted heckles for the jekyll
but wish-thought's swift-edged kiss of permission hide truth too absurd to answer to
likely likely lost to low talent death
ofthe off-black hands that in the snows
of time's maze-gazing man's unsolved light ware night velvet wish-sparkles in haunted thigh-cheeks
partly felt-handled potpourri but by which half hallow-witched light
dissolving with a girl's heart lilt in wind flutter eye-witness dissociates sight from touch
negotiating epic tales
looking back upon a time recalls to relate of ghosts

Umbra
My sun has gone down in drum suite penumbra
The mood of this rhythm my body Is umbra erect the darkness stands
goes gentle merry-go-round in the wheel
And the totem line behind the three-faced light tabu
decline the flesh-cup curve with a rub in the trouble hub
the axle oil gives ease
The postmen ask spoke
What information in address envelops this female said muffled mute hot gerund to be is being is
impertinence posturing behind us the night pitch
the feeling pie
this is not thigh ten-inch-pound distance weight focus
this is the weight of death Jove is a good gentle cut
full to fascination bottom riddle end but dense
between thin spreads of dough Its meats
one face-frontal curve the kneading spirit is gripped
or straight instantline say designers offashion
no rear view is beautiful to address and the handle in this feeding time
but to the self equipped with potfat floodlight milk
one clean brief declension to go roaring to the royal pitch pond
is to write to inform and to clothe to invite is to the self-darkness square root
the set formula to be feeling figure-field
This is the interval of a question addressing the male
The fall from the shoulders
The umbra! body is in penumbral field careening down the umbra! back
a two-way cup curving female the act of line arcs
a handful of image an armsful storm moving to divide hill
a mouthy world waiting
And the black thumb of Its beauty
And the lips that kiss you in penumbra have arms is an index figure written in sand
A body molds the darkness is thigh-pressed cradle-abdomen met and five fanthomables of a handful in a swim
and breasts the umbra! breasts have softness
is a catch
And the silence neuter feminine night a watery whim which sets and vanishes addressed
is sighing verb-breaths to Jove
laughing out of darkness flatulent with light
And handsome she has fingers to caress herself down and lonely
circular the darkness is erect speeding round in plus-diamond closure
feverish at its back the stars perspire breaking refraction naked
pressed to her back the hands of the arms that engulf her little jewels of blackbrown white darkness
hold her en rapt cutting colors ofweightlight to pair to explode
cool lips press against her throat compound the inner spectrum under surface-limited line
erect the darkness is spinning in an arc PM space
a perpendicular in its equator
a right angle in its tropics I ights

Her head modelled to eclipse the infinite form resource
This body's conjunctive curcuit is be with the nakedness behind the ears
on somnambulant current continuance of attraction
over the unplumed rhythm ofthe head and behind the ears
the breeze titillates
Into the flow of this river tittering ruthlessly
to close upon me the face
of having being going broken rhythm at middle emotion flood
swelling at the lips
a gurgle in the whirlpool erring eye at thigh lsi hips' concourse lips first
cleanses a touch of kinesthesia
lips thirst to lip-peal
wet-lock the flesh waterdrops
handful of the hollow space-solid stomach
break beneath the tongue
a time envelope distended fretfully lolling to tension
waters to drink well sweet tunnel to lips
that hands move over leaving the mouth deliciously weak
this is the pool to swallow
hands move to clutch that having being
to drink darkness watt
to handle mouth's pout from distant touch
to discover collage of penumbra feeling vitamin colored
thigh raised to handsome cup
eyes closed
spreading two lips peak
In violable twilight feeling put to give
she wins watching the gaited dance bite
breakfast
Her hair is lacklustre black justnight
arc offends speech parabolic
a vapor porous posy potted in relief
sculptured to a mating cloud growing wild
This defenseless need to be feminine is princessly receptive
her forehead is arched in appositive poise
Bone sculpturously bathed in hands of love
prominent in majestic sweep
restrained in creating fury
conceding to her lips that she 0 is
quivering to invent avid rhythm
kiss is love
a celebration of sensuousness
her eyes seed lightdrunk aura light's winter moons
airily nodding as the night woods
are aura and aura cool light afire
Her neck is an umbral stem mooring nude euphoria
her face is a slope swelling at the lips
touched with a pink ofsunset evenly fading dark
The shadows step I ithely out of her shoulders
nourished warm of watt to love ethos
off her breast her chest famous of carriage
turning out well thirst to will thirst
where love drinks love looks full-lipped fat handsome water pinks
Umbral she walks in an umbral sun
to give a full smooth smiling peal
in an anarchy oftime
• naked is the heart
naked to the head

And she is a river body Down river the canyon muscles grow bolder
a long night dream that reaches the sea and the bedrock's limbs bake in sunport grand suite
and the grace and rhythm of the sea the womb hands swell of calling wind desire
carriages rocking in mocking girl gait 1 and the river moves in softness en rapt
flowering in flow witherward to step as naked she moves in address darkness en rapt
in brown darkness baked to a wish
in white darkness tall timbre

prone veins of fire repent of presumption The wind collapses of a lull goodbye in potent sleep spickets
the climbing to comma says against inconstant palette
occasioning supplication to pause the chewing frostburn of the aura light
against non-applauding self-fulfilment on the garbage rim of the gift-wrapped river
the movement of wishes attempting quick breath give behind the tongue a tickle of lust's toothless hunger
the eye-part inspiring ineluctably intrusive a howl of gaunt gummed fasting

She climbs the closed light of the hills to swoon this wind impaled upon death is flesh is-Great Growth- flesh
graceful rhythm of legs in address singing gayly the having time lost form
and her fall is precipitous a bubbled sigh and a blues song the resolved black light mystery of cutout doll motion
and a nightsong's lips' salt the hill in love space a voided space-time
and a legend set with wings that passes over the world
enchanted of higher entrance She moves penumbral limbs long-lettering the garrulous day
and drawn across the night thigh pencilled unsharp ends erase
And yes Is tabu the line dorsal white darkness letters written in overwrought space
