On A Walk Through The Dictionary
What is that we use between us,
As a sternson? A nutty examination of
Antlions, waxwings & monarch butterflies,
At midnight – this bar of soft silver
We set between the days, where yesterday
Is sternpost, and keelson today, to fortify
This joint now attaching me to you?
Your ha-ha reaches me across this row Of books I array around my body as A ha-ha; I wake from my reading, wearing Leaves and grass as chausses, and ride Across your body using my hands to dowse For the hidden secret of your gurgling water…
Sunlight today talks using as a hailer This cawing crow, and summer is the dragoman That clambered abroad my sticklighter as it Nosed its way into your bay, where you were Twining lilies into a besom to sweep away The sadness of my years. Asphodels again now…
