Questions for the Beloved at the Cow Pond



Swimming out I got wound in weeds, the water dark
and green except the body parts it






When one of us alternates
between time & space, the rest of us
drive by the airport



Continued


Look at the moon
we sweep the porch
to look at the moon

Also pictures
without singing, out-with singing

Someone is lying
on the television
through his teeth

Once my mother had a necklace
in her dresser drawer
child-I found it
was a square medallion
on a leather cord

Many books will answer
such a question
for example an onion / some apples



Littoral

The twin tulips planted or scattered grow
beside the bucket in a bedroom with no walls
and thou in love entirely all day

A woman with a greenhouse
comes to mind

She might be driving down the market
She might be pointing out seals
