Poem of the Rotten Book
fish of the rotten book
white an eye over
to them old pulled waves
balled up, they are,
thru scuzzy depths / two
dolls big bed Sunday
a nailing fist-first
swiveled sweat imagination,
still mine habits
art driftwood-draped
emptied head went away
like a Venusian waving gaily
out the spaceship window
goodbye, pearly goodbye,
old ghost father, without you
the sun's going spiders
these spiders ride with
their hearts stuck out like thumbs,
like tongues their hearts stuck out
Poe them to me
heartless as rotten books
slipping over them old pulled waves
