book of autumn thirst: i’d seen the sound
[book of autumn thirst]
i’d seen the sound
it isn’t possible for you to see this lady of the lake… 1
she’s a silverpoint sketch, 2
delicious unto being vicious, 3
an end of your rope kind of stretch 4
and there’s a franklin mint plate 5
with gold leafing 6
that balances rakish-ish 7
behind her head, 8
she never turns 9
profile—her darkside always 10
turned away—so you’re never 11
quite willing to accept 12
there are no wires. 13
but you’ll never see the sound 14
and the boys that say they do, 15
they’re a bunch of fucking liars. 16
