fav quotes

Once I destroyed a man's idea of himself to have him.
hands on ankles feet on wrists
naked in thought
like a whip made from sheerest stocking
Oh to be an angel (if there were any!), and go
straight up into the sky and look around and then
come down
not to be covered with steel and aluminum
glaringly ugly in the pure distances and clattering and
buckling, wheezing

but to be part of the treetops and the blueness, invisible,
the iridescent darkness beyond,
silent, listening to
the air becoming no air becoming air again
the pin-point light upon a fear of lust
- you were always there and you know all about these
  things
  as indifferent as an encyclopedia with your
  calm brown eyes
- Is this love, now that the first love
  has finally died, where there were no impossibilities?
- ...as I historically
  belong to the enormous bliss of American death
- and that's the meaning of fertility
  hard and moist and moaning
- saling through space: didn't I have you once for my
  self?
  West side?
  for a couple of hours, but I am not that person
- it's true that fresh air is good for the body
  but what about the soul
  that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images
- where are you Fanny Elssler come back!
- ...all
  the postcards and the smiles and the kisses and the grunts
  that was love but I kept on traveling
- listening while you talk and talking while you read
  I read what you read
  you do not read what I read
  which is right, I am the one with the curiosity
  you read for some mysterious reason
  I read simply because I am a writer
