from Karitane Postcards
45
First person went to listen
words as given more numerous alphabets and notes
lyrical models and memories
so we won’t forget getting here
and all the way out too looking forward
in the light of the nearest airport
the needy and the poor the just and the unjust
time coming back on itself
into these words will this reach you
at your address you asked quizzically
already setting up the debate
Yes I said surprized I take your meaning
coming this far.
[Karitane Postcards, Hazard Press, 1991]
