ship followers song reports

within watch coats

inner pockets of stale cake

will joint voyage for

bodily eruption from plaits

downy mast head meeting

meteor de-orbits

and burns

re-enters what was Friday

20 tons

of debris

O people on Fiiijiii!

divide hour into smaller units

water clock futurist

mind leaks grass whistles

how can I sleep through a night with no end?

I get up and scrawl        lines of words        I wish&nbsp    ;   I didn’t exist

as lightning destroys the sky            and the sea wants the boat

I open my night shirt            let the torrent

drum my body            my shell hardened breast    my unbattened sex

all the people in the world            and I can only think of you            in the curvature of rain

all the wrecks it has seen            a bird circles exhaling darkness

                                                      after Yuan Chi and Anonymous (Six Dynasties)
                                                      translated by James

chest of phalli cradle

hands to torso till rose

hips in bowl crushed

darkpit of mollusk

lip down scoliatic spine to

foaming Ionian uprise

beneath flex of land

your shores are drowning
