Canadian Doubles

 

Napkin wet soluble soft in

rhythm of the universe

punishment that can't harm the dead,

leans back living

white as space

 

lingo.

you are the fat bohemian

hodgepodge

rain stick soda can glaciating

solo of warm pungee

rhythm of dreaming.

 

a stop mirror aside for gold sides

mirrors apart

that passes on through

a street collection, and nothing feared

will come from the pantry monster

spigot. city, I say

 

torn flux purgatory games

hunt children drum royal lines

faceless painting

scat

lugged in cobwebs

black noise tragedy age

yellow jacket sestina

skids in the urn for

 

generally sulking the window cracks

from the whales dawn hearing.

hears falling gamelan

veldts of ginger penny ale

button plants. whale,

 

the window there's a sewer.

it lugs my tones into yours;

every sigh a novel.

every glance a poem.
