Images led
their channeled winds
through a canal
of birthrights
body.
Another’s crude fingerprint
on the first to bruise
leaves piling up
the particular
The same yellow slicker.
Park paths.
"Leave-taking self for another"
*
The cobbled street ran along a canal
A man was going into one
Of the yellow buildings
He hung up his raincoat
Sat down at the chair by the door
And peeled off his galoshes
He had passed no one on the street
And the office was empty
There was a coffee machine down the hall
*
No unconscious force
Or historical totality
Survives a military's gauntlet.
Fecundity's 1st Instance
Entirely undivided
Before you pull apart
Sugared cinnamon
Fried dough
Loose change
