glow

Shabbat shalom.

(It gets dark by 5, maybe before. I love it.)

Tomorrow I sit my GREs. I might go to step class before; I might finally go get a reading done at the botanica on 125th after. We'll see.

and 2 more (divination open-book style)

from DiPrima.

Influence (Wooing)
I am no
good at pleading, too proud and
awkward, my hands
know better how to ask, but how
w/you so distant, look the leaves
are gold, remember August they were
green and we lay under them on earth

now we dwell
under roofs, we lie
side by side w/out touching
when I am
alone, my tears drop
thinking of winter




Phosphoros

Watch carefully that you may see the Day-star
arising with deliverance...
-Philalethes

The morning star casts light on all
the towers on the hill.

We consort w/angels
We are the prey of beings
who break us open to extract the seed
The mineral sperm which flows
like vapor from our hearts



There is no quarter in this war against
our outdated humanity
We set our feet on our own heads
& climb

to the beloved & wrathful form, the female form
of what man could be
fluid and cold as starlight.

Precise as mathematics


"The sky was green as morning
& the dew
lay golden on the grass."
