Everything Have I seen you bikini'd? The air solidifies around the sound Of your waxed body A love song Yes The men smoldering on the sidewalk Have a conversation about Hades Reduced to vapor Southwest Virginia Nothing Encasement of cultural cache in nylon Tied in a neat knot between keen Shoulder blades Pale duvet on fire

Eat broken dreams
And water their tiresome sit-ups swimming
Go to town to do schoolwork arend go to town
For umbrellas of Scotch for 5 p.m. errands
At the state liquor store tiresome sit-ups
Swimming takes me to town for pushups
All right time and hunger and swimming pools
Which I get home and hunger and water
At the tiresome details to what ten towns
Run errands do pushups and swim
Lean and buff water $5 a fifth at the nearby
Municipal swimming unmoored like
A middle-aged man like me
Like jazz lots of Scotch too town
There are when I do arrange myself
To myself it was heart-breaking that pool which
I took with supper eating broken dreamers, dearest Jane

Notes from a dream, 1215-172013
1. “Ashuver Sixlio”
2. “As I failed to shoot the dog”
3. Lot of dreams tonight. I curse myself for not waking to sketch them along the way. But last among them:
On the streets of NYC, with Andrew as sort of assistant, photographing the street. Lots of people. Smiles but also secret shooting of the homeless and glamorous at perfect unobserved rest. Anyway, at some vague point we encounter a group of 8 to 10 girls aged 16 to 22 (I intuitively know/guess) and they start to follow us. Flirting at the same time annoying and gadflying. We welcome the attention, the company, the shared energy, but they are a distraction, clogging the sidewalk as we try to navigate through without too much negative juju coming our psychic way.
Andy and I stop at some point to deal with an equipment issue and the sirens swarm, smoking, making my lens change more difficult than it needs to be. One of them, a young brunette all soft lines, most devious bodied, the youngest, most supple bodied, stands in front of me. Me, two feet from her burning Camel Light. The sweet smoke passing between us without burning my eyes. She won’t stop talking; so much more than talking: sexualizing forth, weaponizing, poking me with her untouchable womaness. Clouds me. And I’m trying to change that god damned lens, not let any of her smoke into the camera body. Fuddling with lens caps.
An ash, like a perfect snowflake (it had been snowing now IRL for two days), falls from her cigarette to her dimpled chin and, as if that ash were a universally understood cue, I kiss her lips with such quick aggression that she takes a step back. Unbalanced/shocked. Gives me a moment of much-needed distance.
The hip girls all snicker and chat, one says something to no one: “Oh my god, she’s only 15.” But no harm done. I lock in the wide angle lens and we all move on.

Where will he go?
Half hemmed against
The water hand dancing through
Clouds in a ballet of stars
Night
Just night
Beneath the cold mountain
Where is he afraid to go?
