From The Papers of Previous Tenants, Undated


Lamb from lamb’s ear
animals erupt toward

night murmurings, without:
stalk, descentless, supposing.

In waves’ glister, flee
into forest bath, or sky.

And the new come. Newly
as star, as living lusts, grace

the leafy night of blood alone: that is
subterranean, regenerative, nosing.

Watered coffee from a churlish 
hand, you are my mother!

Or sent by her. And the tree full
of contradiction, those

unread newspapers. I watch the out-flux
for my chance down the subway stairs.
