Romantic chemistry
love could experiment
with her two bodies
could discover the way of milk
coming into the breasts
could invent tastes
or find a way to ferment a kiss
like a poet who never saw
a heart at rest

Hipsters
cold as our black clothes
our hands reckon and point
and all night my left
testicle aching
Tectonic
making sand the first sea
was you heart
hardly seen
carving a body into
the exact world
Ramification
night gains all
the branches
of my body
as small and intricate
as any clock
Polished
a body in a grave is without
any breach of civility
though its mouth
is all drawn in
like what teemed
at so late a supper
Bodily questions
in the book of the body
is there no other writing true as romance
which is true and which false
of two children perfectly made
joined at their bellies
and only one pair of legs
what work will make us fear
the consequence of it
how is holding you
so large a music
Little death song
at the undertaker’s I
shall lie in the light
I shall have no body
to give to age to tend
Harvester
an absence of red in the war
is a white lie
thin as corn
the bodies of the poor
Hawk
one hawk above
is pure peace
his table is an innocent world
with no prisoners in it
like a body by moonshine
Parasitic
a bad night for fleas
the weather cold as winter
all over my body
the poor go out only on Sundays
good-natured about the privileges of power
to itch and tick and eat
at any time
Casualty
the war was hard to fit
into a silk coat
how many possess a cry
and never a body
and find it burdensome
to continue to see
Felled
love is fallen upon me
like cutting down a tree
to make better light
with my whole body
I appease my desire
to be nobody
but I see how fanatic tenants
would garden on so little ground
being almost starved
