"Command Forms"
Command Forms
Forget the blonde: here's an absentee
ballot
blood with a cloven hoof
your own ago
It can't be the last laugh; there's only one--
the amber waves
the mosquito fixed
between us as we move
*
Faster: there never was
a straw house
a seizure
a caesura in a woman
I know
this is not a real shower
Chopped logs are a hint
and I don't want to gaze
*
Listen: I can't
be reticent
near wet cement
*
Let me
skirt
the issue
forth,
the body's gag
inks, a real future
in tones
*
Slow down: when the sea
parted I couldn't
run--
my fingers part
flesh, part salt
pillar
