EMILY AS A BLUE ANSWER

 

Now that

I found her

you can set

 

this dump-

ster on fire.

 

She was

the whole

rummage.

 

EMILY AS A REASON TO NEVER SLEEP

 

Emily is asleep

all of the time.

That is the calamity

 

of my love.  She is

still.  She is a place

& rarely

 

the combustion

of that place.

So, it’s up to me

 

to become the body

active enough

for her to dream

 

about my absence.

She is cruel enough

to do just that.

 

EMILY AS DESIRE REPEATS

 

Every cityscape ends

up with us

all over them.  How

 

rare it is for two bodies

to become

the actual weather.
