Three Poems
Is a Course That Began by Demanding Your Love
& the voice
—(“Hush,” said the room.)—
: its period, its
intonated lyric
-al quality, how
melodious—umpf—that
measure
of breath, its,
hoo,
intoxicated en
-unciation,
softly
falling
un-
fixed—
For Madeline
gracie tippy-toes herself a ballerina
each delicate step that, which, to say—skulking beneath my breast, she
stretches out her hand as if to signify a pawand the sky would have over her
surrounding her as if I am the sky
Que Tes Rêves Soient Doux
I like that a lot—
Are you sleeping?I like that a lot—
Are you sleeping?Dream, dream, dream, dream.
Are you sleeping?
Dream, dream, dream, dream.
Are you sleeping?
Sleep well,
sleep well,
sleep well,
sleep well.
