Dream House
These spiders are the talkative hands
of the draftsman, gesturing
the dimensions of the dream house—
a sketch rendered in mid-air,
nearly enough to whisper in.

At The Zoo
On the back of an invoice I wrote my name in large Capitalist June Blue Letters And because money was involved And so was my name ever in jeopardy On the back of the same invoice I rewrote my name in large Capitalist June Blue Letters And in Leopardy and in Jeopardy I resolved, dissolved upon a radical eradicator Inking in, dissolving upon Jeopardizing in my own name in large Capitalist June Blue Letters

Delirium
The black snow runs down from the rooftops;
A red finger dips into your brow;
Blue snow flakes sink into the empty room,
They are a lover's dying mirrors.
Heavy and torn to pieces the mind muses,
Follows the shadow in the mirror of blue snow flakes,
The cold smile of a deceased harlot.
The evening’s wind weeps in the scent of carnations.

I screamed the night through. But no one heard, no one came. And I died.
2.
I died. No one came, and no one heard. I screamed the whole night.
3.
I died! and screamed all night. No one came, no one heard….
