off the shelf

Brief letters on the Path find metamorphosis to be a lonely business:

The Soul. The World. Master of Time!
A portrait of the bounty, the power of the King—
Adventure dreams of the rolling space of Dawn.

In the dunes horses decay. Neurotic, our Prince, “the Chinese Lear,”
rumor sonnets of iron, tempest-great Caesar of the twelfth measure—
Sand, our wicked mysticism, folk Ivanhoe; living-over, monkeywrench death.
The wrath, Jane, flew Tamburlane’s passion snow sutra, holy
parable of Nietzsche, from the complete poems’ new street map.

Shall Porter rise three—silence—four in prose poem control, petit
random room of the dead Zen medicine, an investing ring of the rules of Faust?
The deep north river fell from dreams’ satanic moral treasury of travel.
Classic poetry—Life, Thomas, approaches realities, mostly the eye.

Mold kindred astrology’s ol’ discord, America, crucible;
Craft murder-selected, grace note counter-clock confessions:
Bloodmoney tears two friends from the Divine Transmigration Machine!
Evidence of poisonings book the invisible Illuminatus, History!
Collect psycho Absalom—the Devil on her comedy from the Great Turtle,
WMD cognition a pesticide garden landscape, archaic.

Revival and poems be good! A treasury,
no exit and three sexual personae:
The Stranger. Godot. MacBeth.
True tales, how short; sexual strange waiting,
India— . . . Iroquois meditation;
The song so long and thanks complete of secrets prisoner;

Order plainsong history!—Work
high-tech revision, a poet’s Anansi analogue:
Love! Ask! Hone
stern Sargasso Sun principles’ language analysis
and design a rude witchcraft ambition!

Bet Kali all the fish & poems and the Phoenix song of Love

Franny and the old man, Time, one day painted the flies:
the jungle of heaven, of Joy, expanded enigma,
Trinity windbirds hunted poems of piety,
Grace spread shapers of change, and reason the heart misguided.
