Let Me Be

after Levine

Like a one-armed boomerang

whistling end a typhoon's eye,

a steamships blind plow

through miles of coal black, star-flecked sea,

like the swollen river's stubborn chew

through tons of stone, cars and tree

tiny floating floats on my shoulders,

time enough and everything

worn to silty dust, I'm a goddamn

krill-bearded cerulean whale howling a deep sea

love scream, you diocese I'm a spaceship

singing from one side a star's stinging heat

shroud the fire gown my heart



so fat and burning every passing thing joy-singed

with this overripe, honey

stuff juggernaut sweetness;

let me be back to your sunlight lined lips,

your muscled hands, your morning eye's

first opening, give leave to me be a glint

of sundust drifting down your windpipe's

glisten, lodging in your red-wet

bloodpump's silken fasten that ruby

smooth muscle's each move, let me

be, give leave to me be.
