THE COINCIDENCE OF STARS

:

:

:

Home an acorn on the floor
:

:
Between the dust and the books a few deaths
:

:
Amateur night

I sit on the stage

and imitate a stone

:

:

In the crowd

I multiply

and divide

:

:

Snowdrifts

The morning moon

is a fist

:

:

Morning boiling milk overflowed
:

:
A field of new grass so soft I hold my wake here
:

:
Coins in my pocket

Watching seals

swim in circles

:

:

The sky has cleared-

daily a darkness

spreads within me

:

:

At the zoo

I describe to the monkies

the sky’s many blues

:

:

Male parts and female parts am I a flower

:

:

Where I’ve been I cannot say I’m him

:

:

A chick

cracks open its shell-

the world rushes in

:

:

Those clouds

War horses

at their hour

:

:

Winter night

two men pass

without a sound

:

:

The son of man returns fruit carts stacked

:

:

Space junk who’s going to clean it up

:

:

cars pass melting

in an empty wine bottle

a man’s reflections

:

:

along the shore

a row of girls

all in white clothes

:

:

Let’s find a shell

strip it

and make a bed

:

:

We live in the dark the coincidence of stars

:

:

traces of snow facing the morning moon

:

:

She always remains

a step ahead

the marshlands of myself

:

:

My face

was her face

in the beginning…

:

Quattro cento face

the body a serpent

laying eggs

:

:

oak leaves in the wind talking again

:

:

gray matter, leaves, swept in a corner

:

:

I cannot decide

which one I’d choose-

Caryatides

:

:

Walking down the stairs

her bodies stir the sun

to be aware

:

:

A prostitute

serves an acquaintance tea-

Sunday

:

CROW HAIKU

April 5, 2013 § 1 Comment

:

:

:

painted in a corner the crow licks the brushes

:

:

:

the crow talks to ghosts with his hand in his pocket

:

:

:

your daughter can pretend she doesn’t hear the crow

:

:

:

no one knows where he sleeps the crow’s got no blanket

:

:

:

after your war the crow sends a letter to his son

:

:

:

you can kick him but you can’t kick the crow
