Notes to a lady who expect rupert brooke

woman

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

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 race
“you will take them to the ocean
…
the cigar biting your lips
the way love used to.”

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