"Are you an eland?" Yes! Yes! She ran off to the primeval forest and there gave birth to an eland Her husband holding the calf to his chest ran to the hills: placed the beautiful child in a fault which was surrounded by other faults among the hills / While the child grew, he (the husband) created all the animals and ways in which the animals were to be caught; and also the wind which was to follow the animals being hunted Their child, the eland, had grown horns and only the sun was more beautiful than he But other sons of the father of the eland crossed the little calf in his sleep and killed it because it was more beautiful than anything they had ever seen. Their father who had created all animals tore off the noses of his sons who had killed without knowing what they had killed. But later saying "No I won't do this," put their noses back on The wife cleaned her pots and put the blood from her dead eland son mixed with the fat from its heart: and stirred, stirred then sprinkling it about, each drop became an eland which ran into the woman with his horns See! you have ruined the eland: and thousands were made And the father ordered the sons to hunt the elands and to see whether they could kill one But Cagn, the father was in the elands: and none could be killed: because they were even faster than any cloud sonne bell Sonne guilt like the unrosed stark Ecstasy gen d'alume no world disbanishment unlook See!

O height dispersed and head in sometimes joining these sleeps. O primitive touch between fingers and dawn on the back You are no more simple than a cedar tree whose children change the interesting earth and promise to shake her before the wind blows away from you in the velocity of the rest

This is the second day without anyone. I am chinning against a dark sky to strengthen my arms. A picture of everyone I love passes through me. No clear light streams thru this cell. There's no dawn. What have I gained by lying in this abyss, waiting for the masonry to show a little slit for my soul to get through?
Break it all down! We're too mesmerized to break from this vampire, America.
When did it change? Or was it always world without end; with end so near, yet so far.
When I button my fly I button it wrong and I laugh. My crotch looks lopsided.
What a beautiful storm! Infinite thunder! Wishing to be home No wonder.
The ghost of Spring has reappeared, clearing my throat of winter I make the first move
Someday, this moment will be thought about. If I'm dead Then you will think this moment
Nobody can get inside me until the angels get there first. A vision stands scratching his wing on the other side. Two angels fly among the trees. O ocean that stops my blood O sun! That dries it up O clouds that carry it off and the courage inside our tough organism that loses life so easily. Think what you want about the uselessness of art for art's sake, or science as a social metaphor. Neither can change this world or become a comrade to the enslaved embittered masses or a ruby in the elite crown of the greedy few. That is why nobody is allowed inside me until the angels bring their defiant message to reconstruct the resumption of life everlasting of love, of hope.
The sun disappears behind hills, a white light still remains. No pink or red or orange with tight purple streaks, through a white cloud. I suddenly feel we can never be destroyed, but I know otherwise. It's only a daydream an overwhelming breeze a constriction that I can't see opening up in the heart on a warm evening.
The sand is washed from eroded rocks The ocean with the sun shining off it the colors of the god of the sea and memory of a silver fish in the dying sun. And not to eliminate the falseness of my life, the son of the mankind dispersed from that starry water. If only the tensions of real poverty could be dissolved like the tensions of sin in the baptism of the sea.
For it seems that the darkness is a dream of experiment. There is more of the monkey to be respected Day follows day. White.... the next day is black. What analysis behind the light. What's between a child sleeping. The bird in a glance. Dark bodies are the children sleeping. The weather ends and efforts of a novice to exhaust but still to be; until the end of the mysteries of an immaterial universe. What have we caught in human modern dream? Submission: Menstrual in the life of sub of a secret passage to blood. Is life knowing the thing? not knowing is not hearing. Fill us with a loving animal! The galaxies last and last until the end of the galaxies: lasts and lasts. When noting stands between my black face and red heart I ask Where is home? and the universe, the belly grumbling, is the cry of a baby growing hair. When light and night heat falls along the sharpest and the little snugglers with their eyes; the human embryo arouses in this empty stomach the feeling of a universal smell. As I sit with this care on the shoulder of an ancient shore, with the thing we fear: On this day I throw off my clothes in a sing of dominated embraces. The wintry puddle comes back to life. Ants with their new clear bodies are drenched in their first walk. My heart has known conceit. There is a long ant. There is a short ant. Eyes keep running thru the night. Why should I let it die? All I need is to embrace it. I sit down alone and do not run. Children run. Children scream and play. The more I follow the wind the bead stops and my opinion. Friends knock on my heart. The effect of a woman is in the feelings. Splash my eyes, keep me drenched, to a decried heart, down a soul. Although there is an ancientness in human breath, even the creatures sing. 1967
All this summer fun. The big waves, and waiting (the moon is broken) for the moon to come out and revive the water. You look and you want to watch as men feel the beer breaking on their lips, and women seem like the sun on your little back. Where are you closer to everything? in the plants? on the photograph or the little heart that's not used to beating like the waves' foam? A wasp is looking for a hole in the screen. No. There's no man in the lighthouse. There's no woman there, but there is a light there; it's a bulb. And I think how complete you are in its light. Flash......... Flash..... .................................... And I think of how our own room will smell; You lying on one bed and we in the other, facing the... flash..... .....................Flash
Nothing exists that does no empty. Who are you feeling? Who do you bite in the morning? Our health? when we're sick is the body coming. Our love, a mountain fuming in the ocean like a graceful race such as black. When the shores overtake in the continent. When the heroes are phony, and our house less than rubble will there be a bite, a memory still left?
You light like a flashlight something through the west of worn shades. All this great fun and you like a dark of misunderstanding only bring a large sample of green while people dance to rock and roll in spanish. All the littles on the wall watching while the parrot and the dog again sleep. The moon like a stopped cannon ball: so little difference between us. I search the corners for you and I am drunk in a park or a hallway at night. Being in the street is being gone in the largest apple in the universe.
There are no dinosaurs but man suffers still more. Morning, roaring tiger of trying to keep. In the engine silo, there are no dinosaurs of pain that are hurried enough: Morning Star!
See the black bird in that tree trying out the branches, puzzled. I am up there with you puzzled against the rain blinking my eyes.
