Avenue A - Frank O'Hara
sonofapritch: We hardly ever see the moon any more                                                               so no wonder      it’s so beautiful when we look up suddenly and there it is gliding broken-faced over the bridges brilliantly coursing, soft, and a cool wind fans         your hair over your forehead and your memories                 of Red Grooms’ locomotive landscape I want some...

An incomplete list of small pleasure
An incomplete list of small pleasure     I have but only pieces. this apparatus, this shy menagerie clockwork flitting blood, ticking steadily to thumps and what you can tell of this petechial melody quite matters now.      I’ve learned that winters warm and refuge from frosted palms is to rustle the embers aglow.     And I have traipsed words beckoning a definition sought to label the deluge of...

Flight, Fight Or | Dora Malech

Never said feather oars or father me. Where recipe calls for apricots try fog. There should have been a strap from yoke to harness. For record whatever I never kissed the bride.
