Writing raiments without consciousness

The bearers of an infinite sweep will

suffice themselves, declined, quartered

It will be he who will split

me

He will round what will suffice

for me

If he will be

hateful, he will

knit himself, my nerve proud with

silverHe will like pompous

seas

He will adore what will persevere

for me

He will taste his

mind leaping from summer to

summerIt will help

me to hear me

wondering like that, golden and suspicious

That heart will

be his

Here he will be,

a low bailiff in a

superfluous raiment

My finger maye with caution

Habiliment, habiliment, how very mocking,

superfluous as silver, with a true

3



bough

One will fling

heaven and remorse, where stiles and strategies

and blue-birds will crave air

It will be like pursuing a spotted

schoolroom

Nothing so spotted

as a mistake or an

enemy, blazing a

high mountain

He who will abridge his rain like

a frantic night

Those will be solemn, even though

a chapter will be a brown

stoop

Into an adored

raiment an intimate child will hope

The throat next

Such silver bears no

relation to bee, father,

drum, primer

Naughty as size, purple as

nutriment

Changing caution like snow

Charlie Bertsch

Want

Here is a sexton, an

enterprise, a cup, nights for

a stock

It is like

beaming a visitor

Your green shouts

faint and die

What is this? It isn’t judgment,

it isn’t option.

Breast wonders in its true key

Like aching sundowns

Like a patient oratorio

Nothing so cold as a

sum or a

dissembler, wanting an adequate

deficiency

A king is trailed, lack

written like cowardice

Utterly, violet snow rows, like

a morning

It sketches you

want in pails of lack

Then the neck

It pauses by the privations

of the voice

A need of your want

5



bes a wish to

an immortal privation of

lack

What does the

arm do without finger to want?

Is it slow?

While it is broken

The amber pleaders of dread sing you

spangled ways from the alphabet of

the friend

It has no neighbors

Ethereal privations, ethereal numb pains

It is mangled by

an exclaim

Steven Burt

The other greens

It touched its nature prancing from name

to name

It’s not a wood, it’s a

stair

The pools exclaimed

Greens may have transformed into breasts

It had no

remorse

Because it heard

you sometime

Rapid as a heart,

presumptuous as a heart

Go

Shaking like a wizard-finger

the diaphanous trees, stirredby a dead splash, wondered

The finger next

Who did it

sign, daring, coming within its adders?

Your hand strong with delirium

It was seldom a tongue, though

for eons it

has devoured places, reared rumors with its

womb and watched its

eclat sleep

Miss, miss shortness in your

7



lip

There was time

for the different rosemary feeling

its skin along

the wall seams

It could have wondered

Lying like a

wind the homely foreheads, lived

by a quick

end, came
