I promised
not to look back again, and walked looking on my hind-side without turning head
or shoulder yet conceiving wrongly the face of the man; each time I murmured what I damned, what I promised;
I promised not to take goose as one’s childhood or that there is a wet place
near childhood therefore. I walked on blindly.

I
promised not to look back again, and walked
looking
on my hind-side without turning head or shoulder
yet
conceiving wrongly the face of the man;
each
time I murmured what I damned, and promised;
I
promised not to take goose as one’s childhood
or
that there is a wet place near childhood therefore.
I
walked on blindly.

I
didn’t mean to be identical, reduced to a number or a card;
an
empty sky, no crows hanging a wire across;
an
empty cloud with no lambs inside.
I
didn’t want the flame travel away from the candle;
Through
the day they take my contours away;
through
the night I recover, walking in the dark empty,
harvested fields, crossing and
plunging into the dark patch of trees at the end;
to redo my lines I light my inside.
Sometimes, while
crossing the field
the lantern in my hand takes
my interior
and I walk holding the
horseshoe
plunged
in a river;

The picture holds an absent dove in the attic; as time goes,
when
the dove is dead, a dove enters the attic – an attic is a
transformed
dove with harvests and locust;
a
transformation of the picture drawing a line of blood
on
an empty field just withered with scythe.

A petty is as good as a big– the
latter,
the big, is a little, confined in a
hollow big;
a little is little,
unscheduled,
meeting nowhere, in no place, to
any.

There was a sea on the western front
now
removed through watching.
Had
there been a corridor leading to the sea,
the
palms by the shoreline running in the wind;
the branches raining, the wind
rinsing,
had there been a tortoise on the
beach perpetually
reddened by sunset color, had
there been
a
clothesline hanging wet petticoats…

Pamela,
a front door curtain, now removed.
She
is much fluttered in the wind, heard too many voices
of
the playing boys from the beach, too many lanes
she has seen through the corridors
between the coconut trees;
She lived like a running
clothesline, died
like a housewife sitting beneath
the chairs, low and morbid.
Incorruptible
Stick ( 2 Dec 2018, Goalpokher)
Should
I die or the dead should come with the dusk
Should
the disc fly alone or let me fly with it
Should
senses are compatible with a man under a tree
Should
a dry stick be corruptible and die after death
Should
a potter’s woman be a mother or taken for a woman only?
One
day I may restore these questions.
A
dish (2 Dec 2018)
A
dish is served laid on the table when the shoes come
The
dish is low, when shoes are high around their piece of meat
One
has his own meat; one has his own shoe, one has his
own
naked leg of desire
The
show becomes wet as the dish becomes;
When
the washbasin sings, the table eats alone:
The
shoes, the clutter of the dishes,
the
petite leaves fill the portico outside under the star
as
the gaze of a dead man through all windows of the universe.

The wall cleans smears of breath on
it with
slender hands of cockroach; goes
now the slumber of the light,
the bowl of brass on the
floor washes clean alone
A hammer fallen in water sends stir
of water slowly up .
Flashlight had gone, its last ray
sweeping on the floor
gently walks back to reach the head
of the light through misty road
As there was no sound, the dried
lips played its role
My mother said, "Put off the
light."
Poem
of 2 Dec 2018
I
neither pray for silence nor for words like bowls of glass,
which
neither sits nor walks to overthrow container
with
its content
I
believe I must endure
to
research a way between glass and sand , between
the
bowl and its glass.

Yesterday
I linked to mosquito, its towing
songs, linked to the man under
the tree
which compared shadows in scripts; yesterday,
I magnified insects, dwarfed
me;
my
presumption went wrong, unverified
for,
theory of yesterday rested on yesterday yet
my groping fingers
from the other side of the glass pan
returned leaving only smears on glass,
with a shrill around - rescue, rescue!
