POEMEmerging somehow into power
you see the fog fall in and out of nightand women on the street
days go by in a vertigo of willsand wanting some word to reach to reinvent what seeing means
once you wake towar in your country and the games are all over
you want to shatter but shattering can’t be had
life lines moving through us we are only a few hours into dark andalready time disappears through our hands — the truthdoes not exist — it’s everybody’s angel
all the things that keep us from thinking
there’s a difference between the abstract body we love and the body suddenly precarious sheltered by danger there is nothing outside representation but the trembling core and us inside it

Debordà la derive de la Bièvre de Guy Debord who could sweep through any cityon a curve could river aloft even an old river knotted in the middleof the night can be traced by its heat Debord who refused to followthe meticulous scent only a city could in such debt could a city disarticulate
its flickering grid in walking is the destruction of city planning the de- Haussmannization of the mind on an October afternoon filtered light fingering a break in the seal cast aside decades later a group of young peoplegot into the habit of walking a straight line across Paris no matter what buildingsrivers or other obstacles happened to get in their way they unlocked
the genetic sequence and not without effect on the English Inclosure Acts ofthe 18th and 19th centuries though this is difficult to document which is oneof its principal strengths.

Ugly RoomMeet me in the ugly room
No, the ugly onethat one is fine
I mean the one I can't stand to be in
Bring an axe
This is not a metaphorThis is what I actually want from you
If I'm ever going to love againI need you to bring an axe to the ugly roomI need to speak with you directlyabout failure & disappointment
since we've both learned to identify things
their origins at least
Objects can give pleasure
holding them at least
When you were goneI held everything belonging to you
I felt a twinge

InteriorEva lives in one room overlooking a narrow cul de sacnear Union Square, Market Street, the financial district—beyond the other end of Chinatown. And I find the place,so the instructions she gave me at the MDR were good.
Upstairs, we drink our tea sitting on the floor, the lackof any furniture except a thin pallet proof of her strictattention to detail, like the pale rose climbing her facewith a soft glow that’s kissable. But she knew I would.
After we dress, though, there isn’t quite so much to say,and the hardwood floor lights up as the room darkens.All at once I remember a friend I’m supposed to meet.
We’d planned to have dinner. We’ll do that another day.The shine from the floor deepens as the room darkens.We hug goodbye in the alley. I walk out onto the street.
