ALL THE MOTIONS
the vast turning
the movement below
the stars light shifted
from the steel orifice
of the sky new born
gave birth
to tiny nations
lined with
the ghostly
the myth
it spits ink
into
the foggy projectors
born of the cloud
as the light hits
the music churns
and shuns
terrifies
the lady watches
in awe the spinning
spurts of lightning
across the screen
of this
unknown cinema
abandoned at
the age
of back-lots
PLENARY INDULGENCESdevotions
sight to sound
i'll see you again
a welcome
from the steel-
toed trap
torpedoes hum
above safe homes
constantly
we breathe welcome
nude as the television
images disappear
INFANCYthe bright cloud
as infant you say
this is the motion picture
we began
the contact
of flesh on flesh
the organic movements
of the brain
crawling out
of a locked attic
something
semi-abandoned
uncurling
from the foetal
position
THE METAL ROWSmarching home
as matches strike
that faint ringing
of the ear drums
ferocious and cool
sexual footsteps
along the metal rows
THE IRON ROSEthe iron rose
whispering
monotonously
TRANSFORMATIONclose your eyes
no nonsense reason
feel out where
i had left off
cooling down
a collage
ungazing
and transparent
tie me
so that i
may transform
