Philip Lamantia Poems

The Due D'Aumal's cannonballs
Are being marshmellowed 370 years from their masonic inception
Now lie on the Potomac
The Due D'Aumal's balls cannonaded
...

crashes thru air
where Lady LSD hangs up all the floors of life for the last time
Blue Grace leans on white slime
...

Choppers in the night husk the brilliants of thought
Beyond the cities of patina grow caves of thought
Coyote Hummingbird Owl are rivers of thought
...

Because the dark suit is worn it is worn warm
with a black tie
and a kiss at the head of the stairs

When you hear the dark suit rip
...
