JUNGIAN QUARTET
1
Remove all obstacles
Count backwards from 108
Fever blisters in anticipation of
Sustaining ejaculation
2
Chakras clear
It’s only Wednesday
Peacocks cock it up in the yard
Ticks in frenzy
End of Spring
O, The Gurus!
3
Fog rushes in
Moroccan butterfly
Nepalese rice paper nest
Tibetan Hollywood Telethon
Go away ugly black bird!
Stuff attic vent hole with paper towel
4
Hedgehog crashes through woods
by lane above rolling wheat field
“Krishna and Rada Enjoying’
Wild grape blossoms
Appalachian Trail horizon bliss
May 20, 2001—August 28. 2005
HOSPITAL VERLAINE
Eating my way through the chocolate door
“A telephone whimpering behind Latino jazz”
Increase the dosage. Let’s get married
Mommie’s not home
Mommie’s in Rome
Paris beacons a 3rd rate circus in a first rate hotel
(The Price of Culture)

ADRIFT
“There’s nothing like used underwear no matter
who did it”
*
“All these things seem to come out of my head
Can you see what they are?”

“Dishes & cups”
