Feb. 14 "Am I Not Here?: Valentine's Day Edition"

    

 

"George went to swimming at Barnes Hole,

But it got too cold.

The scream.

Flame bird was queen of the seas.

Along the Seine there were sunburned couples

With personal distance

Sitting under the marriage tree.....

 

George's leg has gone to paradise.

Midsummer night's dream had lovers in the red sky.

Grief filled into the head of a naked girl....

 

Dog and blue fish under bridge in the rain and

Silver winter made border incident.

Women leaning out of window of 

Electric color tower 666 was his faded memory....

 

George was the invisible man.

Frostbite took him to the top of the world.

Vanishing wave on red earth seemed like

Himalayan ghost wheels.

The garden of intolerance: at the end, like fathers, 

Like madmen, or like heroes."
