INTENTION
The intention was to break Ben into leaf.
Break into leaf.
River rules break into leaf.
It is bent on behalf of the sheet of glass, under the glass shade.
That delivery boy breaks into leaf.
Our island, overloaded with tourists, the sun, and a towel stuffed in a
bell.
Tourists break into leaf.
Encourage me.
Burials were like this.
Fast and sad.
One too many formations.
Burials there existed.
The sheet of glass is far and doesn't cover very much.
So many kinds of sheet,
And so many leaf/scarf : leaves/scarves.
Soune
Am I dreaming you. No. Am I dreaming you now. No. Am I now. No. Now. No.
Now. No. Now. No. Now.
Yes, now. Yes, now.
Now a rune, now a fan. A lunette.
Now a dune now sing a song of grace for grace. Soune. Ah lacuna.
Now a lark.
Gunfires.
I've never seen you before now and
now horses waiting by trees
Blow by blow, Alouette.
Alouette, gentille alouette, alouette je te plumerai.

to me
Yards make their first appearance here, and so does the threat of frost to cacti. There is more happening in this poem
than you could learn in one lifetime. The question that this poem asks is of the abstract nature of touch, and the
relation of touch to a spatial field pertaining to architecture.
There is only one vanishing point in this poem, making this poem very easy to draw. Start with whatever object is
closest to you and hold it in your hand until your hand and it have become the same temperature. But not if the closest
object is a cactus.
It is written in two columns because it is also a conversation, or about a relation of one to another. Obviously one of
them thinks it is more important than the other one.
