Fluid Drive For Gwen

Fluid Drive for Gwen   

Sleep is a many splendored ring
[lostfully] lust in sleep’s  [giant] silent loss. 
rungs of ‘nipples, climbing...[
ladder] in  [Vegas,...chest-quest 
frost, first cropped then tops
stops and sings a song of  sixpence
love and fluid drive for Gwen 
who gave me hives 
on weekend pooldives
in hills never been   or bottomed 
on show couch beer rain Limo soak night[fright] 
Westwood look crossroad took Norma[she was dying] to her table 
white wicker sky- never make cushions for Wicker furniture[straining to be heard] 
shrinking into dream of fame. 
lime green Fermento [fragmentedly] 
thing sitting in yard [windy] Wendy[sometimes it is still when someone here is 
dying][trying to die], 
.   still in an acabe  
Medina is the lover of patroclus  
Sometimes a Blue come push down death’s trembling curtain  
Yesterday on my walk I saw a funeral Heart  be touched by Grace 
The carp swimming old in May circling dead [dead as can be]  
a kid said as she jumped to me; [old dead snot-snout]  “Home is the sailor” [home is the sea].
