Your name is, friend, November. Sun,
And what you hear is time,

sent between the days to measure
song and light, between the

song, a line into these destina-

same arising to flesh the body,

beginnings are not strange; the
way begins in markings from

In the same way all ways moving

line, a spot, fold & claim, to hear these
resonances, known or bounded by the line’s

time & swept ahead to no beginning, but
thrust clean, to move throughout the same

way moving, here, love’s eye shortens say-
ing & blows wooden & precise, your own

motive: crown & song, any word uttered, a
loop, lingering to hold or sentenced, shift.

A face, then, your own, where acts reflect
reflection, and perfect these drones to

their own summaries. Loomed out, held to
spoke. Shrine & tomb, the heart’s term:

and cleared away, a woods, tactic of the
thing seen, where it sleeps & turns, leapt

out to hold time suddenly, pushed, left, the
color blue, fold, air, sense of the due

behavior, but name, long & lunging, groped

The cold day moves sun to string
these loops of taste & sense,

Room, the day of taking-out, a

tone of bound edges, blue & loomed;

Crest or fume, the loose moons kips

crowns the peer of these scatterings,
a room away & kept close to
hold & grow, again, your heart.

126

the eyes, then, bring us round, and
where we are is no beginning, but

thrown out, where we are, at some
occasion for beginning. And who

we are is also new; these elocutions
are not sudden but rehearsed, it

is our lives we have before us, to
some solitudes thrust or cast, and

often: these hearts are also new: this
air becomes our own, and where

this sentencing unwinds, there we
have also arrived, folded &

spun, sent to some meeting with
-out penetration, only some causes

withering with destination and word.
And where we are also followed,

There we are made into this arriving;
at some hedges thrust, song and

name, at some resolution burst, in
some particular thriving, and lost

to it, emptied of ourselves in
the world of this beginning,

and cleared to these new beginnings
by being made : alert, particular

and known. Where we are is home.
this world is clearly sudden, clear.

127

Line away, and spend among these
presences alert to this : settle in & hold,

the way is cleared, and in position comes the
resting, weaving claim : spin to hold and

128

And term a line, inside and spoke, the

of light, clear in its disturbances, to tell

these numbers, also heard, where we meet
in these darkened shadows, and heard.

Which line suspends the same light depended
in some particular destination of the

air, and loomed out away to hold this
simple night seen outspent to lean

out to hold the line between meetings,

but left aside and in some time removed
to these particulars of the ear’s moods.

Room. Sway the yield astir, & term, calm,
the open fragments subside : out to term,

these articles of means, and what is
waiting but this specific proof of eyes,

then, and cleared away outside to hold
the line to light’s beginning in the heart,

and love’s eye surrounded, then, and

to disturb out at the line, undisturbed.

Whereas, then, a line is made, termed
throughout these airs remiss to send.

And lined among the senses, at these
stirs to loom there as spent, whole.

The flood, moved or mood, as air revolves

The line, as time becomes the post to
hold sway or airing along the time.

Loops at term & song: these wills subside,

Life’s openings permit; thrown along, the rush

then, is not sympathy but pressure, and
the emptiness of love’s name is beginning,

no nouns interfere, but yield, then, and a
fragile eloquence submits us toward

our others, business, or who we are in
some community of acts, seeker & song:

relief to thorough terms. Drift & spell.

moments of life, might there be, too,
a play & room, air of, night of, love.

173

two lives saved last night by
the fire: we drew the stars of

our fear away, and held to life’s
bright glow in our heart, and in

this way won over death’s close
entry, and the life we gained is also

new, and cherished, seed of, love’s
new beginning to be alone, and

where the fire helped us into this
truth & song, hope at the edges

of our naming, the life and seed
within the fire, how we are

two in one, this fear traversed,
and weak, too, from grieving,

needing food, the heart’s blood
restored by caring, and holding

in my arms my own life and
death, cold, on the ground, and

jumped, and won among our
lines, in some simple joy at the

specific power of specific places
love’s name unwound again.

174

It is met, this child of the spirit,
of the heart’s dying flown out

and into its bright hemisphere,
there on the mountain where

she lives, circumscribed and fired
at the center, and who we

are is known in this double-
dying we have made and

met : the hag rushed by and
you came back. Dark birds

flew away. Your second slide
was personal, you were tired.

You have given me my death,
not your own. And this

becoming of light to which we
are returned is life itself,

Made of food and bright
things for the eyes. We

are all eye and sung, &
seen as what we are,

and this specific song for
a specific child : the next fire is joy.

Marked, away, and long this
specific loop returned, restored.

Your own naming persists, and
caution’s birthday celebrates a

new renewal. Sun or image of, &
met or made, term, alarm, mark.

Your own term went away, returned,
buried at the hill. Trees circled.

And food, here, returns the will to
its own firing. And burned, a

term of life, and full, or filled
sentences are left away, given

to utterance by the will to speech,
seeing, then, how we are moved,

alarum & call, mood of, time of,
recall to doubt, but holding

firm and jumped, alive & well,
flown, aside, loop to tell, hold.

176

Moved, along the light’s turning, to
serve and sing, or, arisen out,

held to term away & hold, fly a
moon away and marked : hold, then

ness, or life, named out, small bird.

So it comes and out, like

pleasure’s emptying of seed upon yr

:At the lift aloft of blue balloons,

Light’s line arrives, and told, to

200

Love is a madness from which some
Die into new becoming, where the

Center of the body’s behaviors breathe
The eye into its knowing of the

Heart. In some, it is the middle of
Life’s beginning, and in others never

Arrives, even after death’s silences
Mourn their quickness, but in being

One to love do we make that journey
Neither becoming the other, but merely

Dying into life and holding on to
These terms : mark, light, as spoke

To tell these airs removed along
Along, among the proprieties of
The air’s beginning to be new

And thus beheld to know the moon
in its triangulations, spoke, held,

affirm-firmed, out layered and
benign, lighted, framed, filmed,

even, and profuse, there, & spun,
air to loft aloft, and termed

anew, one, met, spun, sung

201 (lapse 1.26-2.5.75)

Time’s sense : aloft, the room, of
some distinctness, or perfect shapes.

Your ropes, there, a single loop, heaved
out, roofed-in another score,

at the range of some disturbance,
day declares, feeling my way, a

cool collapse is blackened thorough,
near to, spin to, formal pools are

marked aloft and sentenced
out these moods marked astir

or fed among airs regained to
split heavy or penetration as a

fold & tool. Moves among the distant
formalities, and harps to seal the

rough particulars as they below
to some angular moods, and

score below the heaved moon and
skips and then returns again

to romp along after the thinking
vocabulary and leaps to tense

to tense airs are new they are
left to come to sleep again.

202

And recall, fresh terms align to
these instructions, your acts wd

make the woman into some acts
and lines worth seeing. Score a

term again, to yield and open &
let me see your signs of life,

and spray these doors with light,
pleased and risen, bending over

to catch some seeds, and mouthed,
rised, the eyes are opened in

these tones of sensation, but are
turned then into the air’s pass

and claw, your own delicate
hands open the flaps of the

doorway and stroke the air &
pole, seed to stalk and rise

uprised your teeth are seeds
and songs inside the picture

of your laughter holding open
and carrying on, a mark

a line another way to hold
and come, into the sun, at.

203

And holds the way open to her
acting and giving these images

their sharpness by inclusion in
the forms of wit : among the

terms, a spool, and turned, then,
to being what we are, into and

set, throughout the mark, hold, I
would see you at this work

you do for my pleasure, and copy
it into space, for seeing what

is there, and left among these
pools of light we are like

some sensations of air, roomed
around and spent again, pool

to air and room to set again
and let, another roof declines.

Your legs, the, open and
greased, touched, spasmed

up the way you bounce and
laugh, give it some time

then, and learn to give it
gracefully, cunt and squat.

204

A squat, she loops, dignified
by electricity & turned down,

to vibrate this open end, out,
where some spasms coagulate,

and used, whole, some entry
into the queen’s own body

obdurate & profound, a
spasm, then, a pleasure

grown from this begun
at set & stir, you would

do this knowing, & touch
your cunt and give my
eye your pressure, heart

or heat, or thought, then,
reflected onto some open

-ing, and heard, you wait,
they might, for life’s

openings, fuck & suck, eye
to egg, the line’s renewal

or where the heart’s line begins
to be the same time of love’s

beginning here, heard, of other
oven offer, after, then, spot.

205

Reef, a spell, then, and leaped along
to foam, the end’s ending, at

the room & call : you might begin
or ready these plain songs to

leave the way my own, opposed, at
ends open. I tell you this, and

have my own will to gain, at this
pleasure marked, a jerk of hands.

Or come, then, bounce your hips
and sing my song, I’ll see your

grave opened & fucked, there & thus,
a line made from your complicity.

Or call. One last word, then, yes
or no, & bridged, believed, groaned.

I’ll beat your ass off, enter stick
And thrust, seed your mouth

And grease your slots, have you
Dance over me, dressed, routine,

Named for the squat you are, a
Noodle of sleep, open your lets

And lie back, listen to my verse
And rub your spots, finger, tongue.

206

Referred, a schedule of acts, a
mark, touch & spell, your eyes

would have their blank reception
into will & song, to rise arise

from some line become, a way,
termed to shoal or foam, benign.

And term, thus I’ll tell you with
to come; splash, down the waves

of years, no loss. Or mask and drum,
the loop holds to shear & spin.

But listen, the blood sings, too, &
Words come into your heart, scored.

Read me full, the opening of your
body’s eye. Home, vibrating and

complete, cycled resigned aloof
but seen out, and well, dipped

and filled, you are these times.
And broken in to the tracings

of your hands. Guide the day
along and come again, raised,

bounced off the floor, eagle’s
squat : proper & tie, the door.

207

Reefed, roofed. Slight moons forbid,
her heart weakens, it is good

to see defeat & hollow our yr eyes.
Three more or less to spell alight

And spoon, bent around yr face
These ways permit & lessen, too.

The proper disposal of hair, or fired,
heat, claim & gong, particle and

loom, the line sways out, to hold.
And there, then, blue noises elope,

a car portends possession, escapes
and roams, folds to total rises,

and emits emits and globes
along the room spin and hold,

the way permits, fathom & song,
pairs of words are also true

and where we run out, then we
are out, and where we are, we

are. Unhoped or bidden, lay it out
and leave, this new meeting

might be forever, and name
a name a gain, your own, spent.

208

Spun, to light, revive or spin, your
heart aloft & sudden, quickened

by these beginnings, lost among the sen
-tences of light, or heaved, heart, word

the way is clear, you know, toward a
rebuilding of the spirit where you

might become pure, less abstract, these
are not my nouns but lessons in

the language we have practiced, some
indistinctions removed to please the

song of even your inanimate lying
used by whomever observed some

small shape beetling along the road,
or fixed, the lungs of symmetry

where we fashioned noose & grave, &
even there, at winter’s pleasure, but

just to make certain, that when you
flee it is to same your life, to

keep some dreams of blood revived
and pertinent, though there are

no others in this unseemly seeming
but the repetitions of cause & name.

209

Looped among these shapes, a
fold or copied out like some

maintenance of airs blown to
color, blue, perhaps, or red &

orange mixed to light and from
light regained eye and eye a

mark from these reminders
then moved from here to here

and held along the day as
we are these rooms & chairs

we made, mode, alarum &
recall & where we turned from

day to day again watered &
loomed, a foam of rasps grown

from noun to scheme & there
seen as fill & straw sloped

smoked, cellular, strong, poem.
And in this air of pencils, a

day decides, feathered, table,
love’s name arrives, cause &

pool, leaved like animal green,
another jumping point, out.

210

Termed aloft away, your mouth
is on the shaft, alert, spoke, on.


And listen, held along these distant
songs, a loop among these posts

and hearts. And spin, told as some
air benign as rope or tone, to

heat the air & woolen throng as
some time removes to scene

and throng. Are you cold? Heave
out & come, thrice perhaps as

practice tells these rooms they
are along as space becomes

or leaves, then arrives, enters
spray & song from gray horses

painted strung roofed, a door.
Hold. Your own practice could

make you mine, eased about
and slipped out for rest

and somewhere then is anywhere.
but known along these friends,

you would, or did, and then
bounced out, or up, listen.

211

A stone, spent from form lodged
among the airs we are, thus

moved along the airs resounding, to
some terms moved among her terms

to see & hold, thrust, part and name,
you are also thrust apart this

and pounded out, leaped toward, &
“deluded by false enthusiasm,”

which means the music is cleared of
its energies, reduced and flat, tuned

off or modeled by this becoming
to be the same, roof & plane, then

bailed out, islanded, iced over
to mean or manner & set up

like a thought or like execution
and held, fleshed, tongue and

mood bounced out, or split
for pleasure’s messages, you

have your eyes shut, or new,
they are scheduled perhaps a

release of days & lights and
lighted too and moved, moved.

212

Your heart, perhaps declines to
action but meets there the song

of the bells, and knows even when
time has made its stay permanent.

Well, you might have called, and I
was perhaps absent even to

myself, but here at home empty &
secure feeding myself with

resting. But here it is also the
light time of the year, and

there is no snow & out the window
is only out the window. Fragrance

of the new, harbored benign &
sought this wave retreating

not gone down, I am & sung
thereby where permission grants

its stay. Willing & profuse, a
line along among; disturbed

throughout the same way sung,
alone too and remiss in

that honoring the queen’s
own body, light in light, thus.

213

Firmed but pushed along the
way of & term of the same,

or seen, sleep and recall of
rest and song but rise uprised

this flight of aims or sworn, a
line permits to follow, bodied.

Score and lime, would you last
These oars & twine to scoop:

There then allowed and set
To roam throughout & hold

The same leap to send among
or reef the call out & outer

a figure turns to say & says
then roll these ovens out

to spell and claim you are
among these foals charged

but spread to these turns
and loomed a spin, call:

there are distinctions cast to
love’s will, day of these new

colors, feet, the store, a move
and goes, then, into the day.

214

On top in back or over again.
you heard or did the same too

that held behind or from, we
are the same and made light

from the inside does not pretend
to be the source reflected but

origins of power are rocked &
spun and eagle drives it in

you gasp and hold then where
a mark is made from some

yelling for a name, eyes and
teeth are also closed but up

and lift to mark remark the
whole thing is made around

movement to push on through
a wall or ring; you would

come again I think and let
me enter up your ass as

I am led & seed your rough
tubes with light, a door is

made, roughed, muscled, &
opened, light, a crack, enter.

215

Crossed, hence intense, hints &
looks briefly to the right & left,

or scans the field, attends to
what is there, & not described.

Loom to pear, affirm to these
marks thrust, name to name

we are, crossed over along the
long line out & turned to see

the rest & rests in within a
grace, propriety & song, and

in another month, then, splits
the act again, to ream her

plenties in spring’s own name
and no loose ends anywhere;

or seen the way is cleaned
out, particled, and moved to

hold ahold the ship, this
“unloaded boat” of which

it speaks, leaps out & holds
again, where life is real, &

“emotion counts more then ceremony,”
love’s life light life like love’s light.

216

Line to loop turn return my
heart’s way and hard upon

your trail, tailed out, &
opened into what you are,

told, to tell, at score & tone,
to loop arised surrounds &

term: a way, held or roped
among these lines, your own

shape, shored out & celebration,
to hold you up & drive it

down. The way, scheme. But
see, it loops into saying, you

are and met, term & song,
sung at holding, there, as

we lean between to slip
& turn, or yield, then, by

your hand or mine, left, I’ll
meet these diamonds by the

way, love’s light lingers out
& tells, spoke, at one & sung

time, driven out before the
day, your friend unpossessed.

217

Moved along this morning’s dream,
you are rubbed alert, spun.

and it is pleasure’s time to see
your joy unfold, open, release.

Come, then, and come again, we
are the same, here, given to

our purposes, relieved, marked
sent toward these meetings

by this will & line, moved to
hold time & time, but spent

to hold, at favor strung & peel,
loom among your ferns, a

herald, martial or long, &
in your own keeping, a lapse,

a furrow dug along & roomed,
there, to hold, line and time,

I dive you down, swim & sing
your own : name & name

again starred after a
gold one opened out to

see light alight cool raft
spun, passed alert the road.

218

At the crossing of the year you
would be welcome, greased &

fucked, laid out : and I am
glad you are absent & wish

you to remain. So. And have this
house be broken, but yet remain

then, friend, and lay it out too
in these solitudes of the sun.

and in there in, there-in, the same
way, met & marked, this term

begun at fold & song marked, then,
song toward some new beginning,

made and moved and marked to
these rattles known begun at

stir and sprinkle, the radio says,
and hold, behold, we are remem

-bered, along-along-among, my
title, perhaps, and replayed at

some subtle sentencing. I mean
flap your ears baby, I can dig

it, play with your mouth & I’ll
drive on in the back. Stuck.

219

Strung around, along-along-among,
day today, & strung out, hung out, &

her missing muscle, missive, missal, sub
-missive, this dream of rope & time

fetish & term, or a knot, made fast,
to tell, then, along, too & told.

there, spun & moved, mark & time, a
tune rewound. ;listen, beaten off,

you might admit to pressure, pool
and rhyme, molded : you are.

And distant absent, “neither yielded
nor firm…” affirmed neither than

met, along, then stroked together, at
the ass peeled away pushed in

and another letter flies away
from me, & flee, then, some cunt.

Get it in, then, vibrate & sleep.
I have the rope coiled on the door,

and it is yours, cunt, unwrapped &
slept. Split, then, seed, & open

out, outer, the figure of outward,
& bound, then, thong & tongue.
