Mina Loy Poems

A silver Lucifer
serves
cocaine in cornucopia
...

Face of the skies
preside
over our wonder.
...

The present implies presence
thus
unauthorized by the present
these letters are left authorless --
...

I.

Spawn of Fantasies
Silting the appraisable
...

Curie
of the laboratory
of vocabulary
...

The past has come apart
events are vagueing
the future is a seedless pod
the present pain.
...

Ostracized as we are with God
The watchers of the civilized wastes
reverse their signals on our track
...

This misalliance
follows the custom
for female children
To adhere to maternal practices
...
