Yerba Buena Island: An Anagram in Three Parts

 

 

I.  A Romantic Night

 

A romantic night, watching the city from across the water, and he

told me about someone else’s camping trip and a body in a river.

We all fuck up sometimes, especially when we’re mad and our

plump kisses are losing weight.  We ought to be forgetting all of

this, but we think memories are little philosopher’s stones.

 

 

II. A Night Romantic

 

Fuck forgetting. We are watching our mad memories camping in

the stones and river water -- when we think night kisses ought to

be romantic, but sometimes we’re all a trip up from across the city.

A weight of someone else’s plump philosopher’s body.  And he

told me a little about this and especially all we are losing .

 

 

III. Omit Aching Rant

 

August is our nicest month, and who’d ’a thought it under all that

pale fog.   We as poets are inherently skilled at word games, heart

games and similar propositions, but many will see in this no merit. 

We will be here in the cool now, shutting eyes to the leftovers.  seek
