week 1.1: or: ordinary Poem
[f. 82]
or: ordinary Poem
It is true - you have struck me and you have chosen your wound well -
- etc. - but
-
today i rode mom’s bike down to seabright beach after swimming with Paitra, after the chaos and fire of the 4th, last night - to meet David, lying in the sand - “looks like the fog’s coming in, though, you still gonna be down there?
/yeah, I’ll be with my Harry Potter til my nipples freeze
/alright then see you then” - I brought the Tombeau, but found I couldn’t read it then.
to everything turn turn turn…
Space/time.
his two eyes are watching me, they are enough - already taken by absence and the gulf -
bring everything to this?
David read to me from HP and the Half Blood Prince instead. I watched the currents of wind and fog rush in and over us from the south, til the sun diluted into mist and we crept up the beach to bikes and the Seabright Brewery.
This time: today, after, after, last, coming in, still, til, then, then, then, time, already, current, over, til, past tenses.
