of Joe
more than stutter
his silence
we’re in the room both working
praying?
drawing w/human body & face of a flower
you callin’ me a pansy?
I am a secular Joe
sexy
American throughout
decades
carry a flowing
body, hunched
the better to see you
then dead
horrible horrible
no I am a behemoth
woman outside time
sharp shadow
& desire of you
see ‘pon honour
read a recommended
tome long night
smoking &
solitaire
least generous moments
think:
his profound generosity
“transcendent friend”
take a taxi across the
continent to meet
a divide
why gone all those years?
hands hands
oh keep grieving
hands voice nerves
metabolic other
abuzz in the void
made “wonderful things”
