Tops

1.

a plum or knob, to see
purposes, prior to, or, unlike a knob or fruit

a purchase, or gestalt
in time or in enumeration

the nature of a stick in sand, the nature
of a rib, stuck upright in a palette

before a spry, metaphysician
an accent, passing close, unstoppered

 

2.

a poem, in simple measure
can say the names of surrogate places,

can count the change in a blind man’s cup
a day, in folds, moves, asking leave to come and go

when having heard, are setting works, in geography
to days

when having heard, are breathing deeply
into cups

3.

going, is town to town, changing hands
into cups

4.

in act and in objective
another sequence, or condition, in nearness, to

spinning articles, and arrival, at once
a wish or trespass

the entrance of a man.
And as was consonant with sleep in daylight

after hurry, and pursuit, after warp and corrugation
given,

to say, the saying of a fold, this is a face
or,

this is a church, and, this is a moment
in a wheel

a father, and a son, a wife, or, inflection
recovering a no

 

Tilting

1.

a life, by other means, is tilting
into corners

a life, by other means
can rest, or prise, or, customer, a morning

an epitome, in parenthesis
a passage, or, in correspondence, the solitary arc

now harking, and immovable
is making quote

 

2.

the sinuation, out of home
As much is harrowing,

or untried,
the eye, in community.

 

3.

the pilgrim, in tournament
is getting over, getting on

a life, by other means
is fitting words into corners

a life, by other means
is tilting after cranes

 

4.

and following, in salute
in all the forms of one, whom, some, are

and aptly so
in rooms overlooking quiet places. A chaplet, of prayer

and pension
of groundsmen, in repair, of arms and legs

in repose
a going far, is taking hand
