but nothing can be taken back,
not the leaves by the trees, the rain
by the clouds. You want to take back
the ugly thing you said, but some shrapnel
remains in the wound, some mud.

A poem should be odd as a small cast-iron platypus.

When you look ito the still, deep water,
you can feel it looking back,
trying to come up with the proper punishment.
Fucking water, who made you the boss?

Kissing a rose is a dumb thing to do
not just from the rose's point of view.
But it's a start
like driving off a cliff's probably a finish.
In beween you'll probably want to go to Mexico,
get so drunk you think what you're doing is a dance.

You bend the nail
But keep hammering because
Hammering makes the world

Go down any road far enough
and you'll come to a slaughterhouse,
but keep going and you'll reach the sea.

Often beauty is disguised
by appearance just as music can be
by sound, the dreaming wish by the waking
wish until there's this terrible stress
because a thing must finally reveal itself,
break itself. Leaning shadow, cinder
heart, shouts. In Gorky's The Unattainable,
the line begins to free itself from any
utility of contour and becomes a trajectory.
One day, Gorky hung himself from a beam
but left us in charge of those ravishments.
Hello, interior of the sun. Usually alone
on Sundays, she won't get off until late,
the man steams rice because it's cheap
and easy and feels in its austerity poetic
like candles during a power outage
or trying on overcoats all afternoon,
buying none.

There are no ordinary feelings. Just as there are no ordinary spring days or kicked over cans of paint.

Here is a semi-transparent pebble I picked up on the way to my EKG. Probably worthless but it is my heart so take it.

You start with a darkness to move through
but sometimes the darkness moves through you.
