Nachtbrot
(July 10th, 2006)
Nachtbrot for the illusory agreement
the lengthy agreement
the fragrant agreement
exiled under the active
heel of the imagination
awake under invisible signs and impossible solutions riding that train from noon to night
typhoon on the way and sour thunder in the subway
herky-jerky apathy from one station to the next no imaginings but something personal in that sickly hued laugh
I await word from my friends in this desecrated house in this seventh month of my self-exile in Korea reading The Silent Scream &
dreaming of ants traveling through nostrils
to clean out the body
