Namaste, all.
Yelp is a fun & easy
way to find that the
official web site for
inputs used in inter-
state sales out of
Kerala is a low-power
television station
licensed to a
nun living in sin
in Garfield, Texas.
locale
Precis a place by its
skyline. In this case
microwave & water
towers, the smokestack
of the sugar mill, the
elegant but dated shape
of the old pump station,
in its current iteration
sitting idle as a simple
sign post for the stacks
of fertilizer & gravel &
sand that lurk beside it.
From the Pound Cantos: CENTO XXXV
Flame leaps from the hand, the
rain is listless. The backswell now
smooth in the rudder chains. Ply
over ply, thin glitter of water
quiet in the buff sands. Topaz,
I manage, & three sorts of blue.
Souls stained with recent tears —
first ill fate & then abundant wine.
The talks ran long in the night
& many things were set abroad
& brought to mind. Wherever the
speech crept, there was mastery,
an ear for the sea-surge. In the half-light,
mead & then sweet wine.
For Martin Edmond
Much more
cuckoo-
looking than the
male, with
its / barred tail
& brindled
body,
a
female koël
moves rapidly
from branch
to branch in the
large tree which,
incidentally, has
just come into
flower,
a
fact that is of
no import to
the bird, even
though, judging
by the attention
given her by the
two male koëls
that alternatively
trace or try to
anticipate her
movements, she
is in much
the same state.
Trapped in the ballet barre
Claiming to have more
than enough expertise
to transform the
marketing potential
of the space available on
the inner t-shirt into
venture capital, a
consortium of lentils
& lean beef has launched
a so-called “lads’ magazine”
which examines the
spiritual & therapeutic
benefits of taking
retreats into metaphysical
darkness whilst wearing
only flimsy underwear
Great poems as always, Mark. I especially enjoy the poetry of place.
Uncanny, as always. Especially like the ballet barre retreating into metaphysical darkness wearing only our flimsy underwear.
So good.The nun living in sin in Garfield, Texas ;
the venture capital and consortium of lentils & lean beef has launched a so-called “lads’ magazine”- too accurate
