Three Men Walking

3 Three Men Walking

-Giacometi

so shut so

intent

on

near collision

We want

the material substance

but we need

the avoidance

of vital fluid of bone

of burst

What we want

as we wander

the bitter

labyrinth

is the invisible wall;

wall that shields us

from sperm

and blood

from the bright seeping

of the vaginal

coil, from

the body's deliberate rupture

We still crave the material part

but we need

its avoidance

and what we want

is impossible

To breathe

without rancor

start afresh

Wants:

a completeded body

its weight

like your clos fist

a chess piece

of mahogany

a rosiness nonetheless

with a certificate

of working parts

See this organ of sight

twitching

"use

the strengths

-famished

seek to escape

Want this or nothing

Either this or nothing
