devouring frightful birds
through quick windows
(options on beef p. 5)
and then imagine a tomb
of awkward selectors
for their women and children
dispersed the pavements
good fortunes at last
that quintessential spark
at Hotel X
at Hotel X
at Hotel X
where vicious daughters
a driven filthily
and anything hides
in shriveled artichokes
clean on carpet floors
arm escape
without a kiss
chairs fall loudly
supplementing oboes
the trees outside
are heavy with acorns
naked swimmers faking sleep
new suits are worn
nattily thus destroyed
at Hotel X
