Two pipes
we go low and soft
two pipes of the same note
fastened together
echo each other
two things that had
one other

Sacred hearts club
a body in pain
is ready for prayer
on Friday
so I invited her
to come dine with me
on Sunday
and invent a better
theory of music
with our bed
this summer
fleet as a secret
told to my pen
Dream of arrival
high on traveling
like a storm made
out of the day’s heat
we are passionate
hold my hand as
our fanatic bodies turn
and reach themselves
as places to come to
Remains of the daydream
you come this morning
from blue fields
and backward months
unseasonable sex
like an ear on a birch
barbarously aflutter
and me with my fence
my embers of order
Minor romance
a catalogue of ash
for my trouble
a story of love
for a bad bad world
the hierarchy will shake
as we lie below
Only world
will a first kiss
dull the discourse
how is an only world
so little
tell me to build again
and borrow some pain
Body language
hands aged and handsome
understand with a touch
everything speaks
we begin to swell like the moon
this evening over the wood
a wild creature
The ghost of Christmas present
above all things I wish
to sit at the table with napkins open
talking in the mother tongue of wonder
and so be righted again
with my wife leaning into sleep
and the treasure of touch
Cipher
my child my candlelight
my brave new world my keeper
my rebellion in the heart
my frantic blood
living only on woman’s milk
my cipher of a child
Lucky
the stone grew a mouth
for the mist
not for the haze
but mistress enough
on that irregular ground
it is a strange blockhead luck
to be loved
Night-lover
am I to father a child
with my lady pen
head full of trouble
and pictures
pictures pictures
sick at the river
of gray business
I go out into the night
and talk to her
in her cage
telling her she was
the bird of paradise
Confined
count to one like a heart
out too far among
these people people
as the days keep on
let the world go
there is nothing
but I hear my wife sing
