Plaudit
or she found herself mesmerized by the hand gestures of the mourners
I did not the ultimate concern of ever myself but
I am the evidence
considered the classic theme just set that right over here
under the fig tree where I imagine the garden would be & gather
up those precious thoughts of indigo and stealth the thieves didn’t
think we were rich enough to mug but see we did something! some of this stuff is ours
Chrome & glass doors swing open
Jane with the sun behind her
Snow stockings
last night I dreamed I was a Buddhist
You were always coming and going and going and going
until
you just left over and over and over
until finally you were just leftovers leftover from that
big dinner party we invited so many people to
I couldn’t find you to ask where did you put the cold beers I
COULDN’T FIND YOU AT ALL WERE YOU THERE ANYWHERE
or had you left already driving down the coast with your first girlfriend’s daughter
a portable pinup spray painted on the process
sparkling like coins or
the condition of a crowd adjourning the opera
Ave Maria Ave maria ave Maria
