AFTER I finish this poem and all
the alphabets are in bed
you can walk with me down the hill
where the stream is, lady
where fish dream they are stars
(now this blows my mind -- but
there they are)
Looking within their eyes with a
suddenly unsaid voice they spoke
while smoking mexican grass
And the toads croak lightly
singing, "Run upon the stones
across our river"
I ran and stepped across all
the stones and crevasses
and I found myself upon the Mountain
And there came a poetess who sang,
"Come, hold my hand, along brittle
treacherous bright streets
of memory -- ooh, come my heart,
you idiot, yealing like a drunken man!
We can be asleep, elsewhere our dreams begin
run upon my stones:
Ici? Ah non. Mon chéri, il fait trop froid.
I say again, "Here? Oh no. My drear, it is
too cold!"
The farm is in ice so Chevaux do bois!

Needle spinosity into my spine; whimper - whine, dine.
Bluntness on top of cattle heads, humans must be fed.
Spikelet tack - cork. Sage stuffing, serve with pork dead.
Hedgehogs and porcupines - sharp hairs, sharp quills.
Adam's-needle, blood drops drop. Axes - blood spills.
Chevaux-de-frise; comb a peg-tooth harrow.
Watch flights of the Spring-tooth sparrow.
Canine teeth bite the black birds, absurd.
Featheredge ones pull out,
Sharp teeth under a snout.
