TEACUP

Title: Increase.
Title: Red, round, dog-
 
dog and cup on aquamarine saucer
 
with sugar, dog
delicate, chipped.
 
Warm, nude-
dog forever.
 
Red and calm with lips, nails
bit, biting the teacup.
 
Title: Heroic-Looking Men in Thigh-Boots.
 
White floes around the debris
of cinnamon trees. This is when
 
I was small and the lake and I
were very romantic.
 
Title: Trembling
Horsehair-Braider. The whole
schoolyard gone
 
to daylilies and timothy. Hot
from the conscious, but all right.
 
Dog named
 
Sarah-Raven-Gentlepaw
on your neat shelf.
 
The dogma can by dying
 
be dying. The air cooler
around the lake.
 
Hay-ropes
of horsehair--acts
 
of devotion: step, counter-turn, and turn.
 
Turn, counter-turn, and stand.
The teacup, wicked. The dog, soluble.
 
Title: Dog Box.
Title: Someone Brilliant
 
Who is Also an Outsider. Weathered
lobster-boat on blocks. How things
 
can turn so quickly.
