...meat! Brush to the red-brick dentures,
alias cigars, smokeless like a driven nail!
Here the works are fewer than monkey wrenches,
and the phones are whining, dwarfed by to-no-avail.
Bark, then, with joy at Clancy, Fitzgibbon, Miller.
Dogs and block letters care how misfortune spells.
Still, you can tell yourself in the john by the spat-at mirror,
slamming the flush and emerging with clean lapels.
Only the liquid furniture cradles the dwindling figure.

Song of Myself

...

I hear the train’d soprano—(what work, with hers, is this?)
The orchestra whirls me wider than Uranus flies; 
It wrenches such ardors from me, I did not know I possess’d them; 
It sails me—I dab with bare feet—they are lick’d by the indolent
 waves; 
I am exposed, cut by bitter and angry hail—I lose my breath, 
Steep’d amid honey’d morphine, my windpipe throttled in fakes of
 death;
At length let up again to feel the puzzle of puzzles, 
And that we call BEING.

The Basket

...he name "Annette".
The blood-red sky is outside his window now. Is 
it blood or fire?
Merciful God! Fire! And his heart wrenches 
and pounds "Annette!"
The lead of the roof is scorching, he ricochets, 
gets to the edge,
bounces over and disappears.
The bellying clouds are red as they swing over 
the housetops.

The air is of silver and pearl, for the night is 
liquid with moonlight.
How the ruin glistens, like a palace of ice! Only two 
black holes swallow
the brilliance of...Read more of this...

The Bushfire - an Allegory

...it up, 
And let the jumbucks roast." 

Then Bill said just two words: "You're sacked," 
And pitches off his coat, 
And wrenches down a blue gum bough 
And clears his manly throat, 
And into it like threshing wheat 
Right sturdily he smote. 

And beat the blazing grass until 
His shirt was dripping wet; 
And all the people watched him there 
To see what luck he'd get, 
"Gosh! don't he make the cinders fly," 
And, Golly, don't he sweat!" 

But though they worked like Trojans a...Read more of this...
