It seems to never become


           outdated like equipment   Timely dumb & still


necessary to sing into the temporary


           technologies that the faceless women


have & have lost are losing faces

A beggar from Assisi w/ a bird


               on his neck is protected by poems


carved into handles of knives    Deep


               greens are cut from the patio so


they can be pulled & eaten

What to do w/ the hooves & heads


of mysterious animals    Murder is but                 


one method of making connection


Some skins are unstabbable    There are                 


many doorways into a single skull
