Title Here
 

Black Suit

Forget the great bloodlettings of history.

The shape of the enigma reveals what is hiding.

At night the teeth float in your face, a shark in dark waters.

As the bow pulls away from the pier, you wave to the baby.

Waking you say, "Ye the mountains are mountains.

The men are all well-dressed & none of them are women

But that was drawn out ago & luck is not our lengthy suit.

Here, when the beloved dies, we strangle a stranger.

& when we become too transparent to ourselves?"

Unrolling the rug in the dream you discover

how pain translates into sexual pleasure,

gold keyhole iron horseshoe, sizzle of salted oyster upon ice.

"Art begins in a wound" she says,

"like the death of individual we love better than ourselves,



like heartsickness, homesickness, psychic lightning,

like, I am dancing with cancer."

Still, the stone does its work day & night

We gaze & gaze across the waters

but cannot count who sails in the boat approaching.

Sisyphus of Birds,

may we dine forever at the Table of Breath

so compressed & so serene with angels.

Verdant hills await us, marble slabs above a landlocked sea,

beds of clamshells shimmering with feathers, iridescent mirrored doves.

Your blessed Numbers are 33,38,43,44,45,47

All the warning signs are here & novels of the late arrivals,

slow & elegant as scarves of winter smoke

mirrorwalkers, pushpin terrorists,

bored metaphysicians of oyster & angels,

midnight tricksters who stole the master's tools.

Here is scary authority & the double arrogance of power,

the virtual hand in hyperspace.

A carburet of iron wind cuts the throat of dawn

r upsilon, wishbone vibrato,

& the Dance of complete Darkness begins.

Holding the hideous purple flowers they sing:

Black suit, black suit, my invisible single

Black suit, black suit, you have swallowed the sun's gold rays!

Black suit, black suit, black as the blackest King of chuckles

Black as the palest cabby's shadow,

Give up the soul black suit, black suit.

Black suit, black suit, you are dying.

The rose was one time the earth, black suit,

A five-pointed star culled from a madman's eye!
