Death By Water by Patti Smith
How long ago was man promised? never again. no not again. no death by water.
yet how many questions arise like yeast. like the perfect dead:
was the red sea really? does man rule the river? did she/he drown? was it natural causes? was it sorrow?
How many tears on your pillow. crocodile or real. water shed. brian jones drowned. face down. in a child’s pool of water. youth fountain.

Sohl by Patti Smith
A cluster of glories erupted from his skull. filled with holy dread he opened his chest and removed a small oval hand mirror. ivory and crystal and perfectly wrought. he had intended to inspect his head but instead dwelt for several minutes on the elegant craftsmanship of the mirror. the ivory had a rich grain, veins and in the center a crack. he knelt and squinted so as to get a better look. in...

death comes driving death comes creeping death...

Distance by Dorothy Parker
Were you to cross the world my dear to work or love or fight I could be calm and wistful here and close my eyes at night.
It were a sweet and gallant pain to be a world apart. But oh, to have you down the lane is bitter to my heart.
“You know that when I hate you it is because I love you to a point of passion...”

Seventh Heaven by Patti Smith
Oh Raphael. Guardian angel. In love and crime all things move in sevens. seven compartments of the heart. the seven elaborate temptations. seven devils cast from Mary Magdalene whore of Christ. the seven marvelous voyages of Sinbad. sin/bad. And the number seven branded forever on the forehead of Cain. The first inspired man. The father of desire and murder. But his was not the first ecstasy....

Anna of the Harbor by Patti Smith
anna of the harbor anna full of grace wrestles the desire for the dwelling place of male against male where thieves gesticulate and wink handsome for the sailor lads with duffel bags stuffed with lace anna embroiders hopes for marvelous tattoo rumps and sinks in perfumed dressing gowns as blue-eyed beauties dance but men don’t come for anna of the harbor.
anna full of grace gazing from her...

Willing absence (however unwilling) is the negation of love. To remember can be at times no more than a cold duty, for we remember only in the limited way that is bearable. We observe small rites, but we defend against that terrible memory that is stronger than will. We defend ourselves from the rooms, the scenes, the objects that make for hallucination, that make the senses start up and fasten...
