CXIX
Abel And Cain
i.
I run ably to the door of the wood eating ate
God a tiny smile a long, long sofa. I ate God a long long sofa he sat sitting small
I run to a field a collapsed grain silo the fangs
Of the trains heading up the ramp and blurred me I held all my small wheats to my breast
I run ably babbling your you a bag of you is enough
You push your nose flat against an aquarium window shoe store windows
I run cussing within, your policeman’s banquet a pair of handcuffs
Has the oxen ever met his end thrown overboard over the side of a boat?
I run to answer the door. Your entrails
Hurled at me from a dairy farmer’s truck just as his wife runs home cooking an old chicken in a pot
I run to answer “all in” you see me and raise me you see me to the end of my sentence a Louis Malle novel
And every detailed boat follows behind the shutters to the beginning.
I run to where the door is. The bell is huffing hot before the window
In your foyer. Daddy’s home. He calculates
I run in come in in. Downtown and the outdoors
Trouble in the frost, defrost, pay for a chalk horse each horse only an outline
I run at a bell at a beauty or loving corpuscle, a pullman porter
Falls fainting outside. The days are small.
I run if you can the dog on the bed rolling over in muck in rude
Potato skins the gardener’s at a game of aces and small estates.
I run now if you are able you believe your bedside crumbles at the hands of brutes and highwaymen
Bring down the munitions of old boy’s forest!
I run to get in on only under the road
The train and his family were cutting a boy’s woods.
ii.
Ah! I was running ably until you charged me with an iron lung train
Grasslands overtook all of me while the sun just smoked!
What were you running into? Your suitcase a kiss
Isn’t enough a soufflé a smothering sandwich.
I was running ably. Here’s the whole true story:
The ferry is capsized by the polecat!
I was running can’t I up onto the mountain the ceiling
And there on the terrace God stuck out his foot.
