EDDIES FOR DAVID


the palms are lovely but they do not belong
my friend wasps          & he doesn't

say the blank shall be
the bank shall not be

an object of reflection          the over-turned water glass

how the water glasses
over in untimely weather

I am wave death          against the pylons
but they do not belong

how he wasps          call him the air

the palms could please me but do not
the psalms could please me

but do not belong
clap of pigeons' wings          banking on whether
& he doesn't

the reflecting pools could please me but do not long
the glass the psalms & the sand

a jet-black jetty shall be          the lovely shall not
