What do you want me to tell you?
For Theodore Fraenkel
It is pure truth
Like a thigh
My beautiful lady put your two hands
in the bunsen burner
we will see there more clarity
You are lost if you don't hurt me
a little
in order to see
more clarity
A boat stops and makes
its will
The fields of wheat publicise at length the haircut in the frigate bird style
The mysterious doorkeeper sinks
without bothering his key in your eye
after twenty years we have taken to saying his name
but posterity does not demand an identity card
for your wishes
Mine are simple
Let me drink while I am dead
and fuck the war.
