Elephant & Obelisk 2

"Elephant & Obelisk (2)"

New methods for anticipating the moment
I shake my head "no" for twenty years
the interior is announced as accident
the ordering of words I am unable to bear
the poems cannot stand to be singular
soaked down to their very blood
in the guise of a drunken master
bright in the harness of angelhood
each of the five senses is a cloud
my mouth entered by song
a theory, a mashing of discourse
a sentence writing not only its words
the hands that torch them are we among
a vision pierced as its own reward
