 # 1, April 2008.
“Wherever you go,
Wherever you went,
Whatever you do
it’s wreck and ruin”
[added early morning April 19: “AND REBIRTH”]

 


# 2, April 2008.

“make
where the solitary
monk’s cell, where
the far hermitage,
the small high room in the night”


#s3, April 2008.
“Drag it like that—
First the ground
stained, fading, dying
Then the clay, the
spray of age—drag
it like that, just
drag it, the clawing
…clawing”

 


#4, April 2008
It’s the last end of the grand illusion with which I began—
Like everything else since God died at the end of the 19th Century, the dream dies leaving only its dead staining your fingers.
