Notes to a lady who expect rupert brooke

woman

i am dead but i know the dead are not like this

startled into life like fire
“he leaps up on the couch
and walks through
porticoes of my
admiration.”

something for the touts, the nuns, the grocery clerks and you…

the singular self
“all around me are the lovers,
the two-headed beasts
turning to stare
at the madness
of a singular self;”

the talkers
“a boy, a child, sick with the Arts,”

the sunday artist
“I have seen grey grass of lovers in my mirror
while lighting a cigarette to a maniac’s applause;”
