a wooden hanger,

picked out.

whose elegant finishes

thicken with sideways

suspension.

the finery of mirrors

coaxing glass into cloth...

as it slips off its shoulders.

a grain of sand,

on some desert

night.

decided to expand

just enough.

to become a fisher's

ice hole in the Artic...

on some day.

where it remained

dark.

Robert Lowell,

in: Pulitzer's Toy Store--

twice the recipient.

of cyclopean bifocals--

funny glasses,

if ever there were.

matched with eyes that

were framed.

uncannily non make believe.

Moby **** leaving the oily

crease marks of his forehead--

thereon.

a green study lamp--

the size of a defunct,

underground playhouse.

pulls its chain--

(scintillates of dimes

ferried upward).

opens the

coloriage of curtains with

bags under their eyes.

A Forest relieves the backdrop

of a forest...as leathery tree stumps

twist.
