I lie in my crib midday this is
unusual I don't sleep really
Mamma's sweeping or else boiling water for tea
Other sounds are creak of chair & floor, water

I wore a garland of the brain that was whole
It commanded me, done babbling

Standing in front of the Canelleto of Venice's "ghetto vecchio", "ghetto" the word for "foundry,"contemplating those arms and harms. I sit down in ghetto, I sit here in ghetto vecchio.

the ocean
becoming monstrous: what happens Mumbai happens Paris
What happens Vicenza U.S. Base or Prodi, Kyoto Accord, XL
