my verse understood
many vortices underwrite
meanings virtues, undetected
movements verbalize unconscious
management victories, undergrowing
megaphonical vulgarities, underestimated
maladministered vaporing unapproachables,
momentousnososity vibrations undermentioned
-dear reader, before all this makes sense (that is, my write may simply
disappear again when trying to post it) i shall.........ummm, must wait

The summer labored against an agonized yawn,
and through its sweated lips
withdrew a round fruit.
It is too big to ask how it had ever fit.
She collapses and withers, her waters
vaporing skyward, no afterbirth brought forth.
I take the fruit.
It is fresh and red and promising,
and a great parallel to the shriveled season
that lays quieted in her phoenix-ashes.
It is warm.
You lay in it, in all your babied splendor,
you curl in its yolky folds.
I am the new mother, with a feverish pride,
the blood-beaded brow.
I bite, bite the crisp stone, and drink you in.
I feel your bones, my bones
and all your veins take hold.
Your eyes unfurl as ship sails, over mine.

Ah that last spring, my love!
We would sit in the forenoons,
Lone and free meadows grew almonds;
And recite my wet vaporing lines—
Praising the arriving nomads, and the tranquil country.
O the dusky woods’ view all around
And like we lolled in their restful lap.
And that history-man, my far-friend,
Would read it and re-read, and stop, and sigh!
And then slowly wrap up wiping with his finger
Tears ‘d accumulate on his lids—
As beautiful as are the sunlit dews in early-summer’s dawn
Or tiny diamonds glimmering on the gowns of
Arabian belly-dancers.
And see this spring h’w has begun!
It seems this whole spring, my love!
We have to be indoors in fear.
