Old Death

(Invocation)...
[2013:] ex-girls sing it from my mouth / (please) advise, any old crushes /
/"Jupiter xli, help" / (I'm) marooned on Wildwood('s) rushes
what follows: lowest points, sad-ventures, bits of my horse victories
[2010-2019] I'm stuck on witching hour work my own boys won't know //
(if the) meadow-lends itself to war / (and) wrens, (to) set cadets going
[2019:] and if ten years pulling at the oar's been for eight carols to rowing
[c. 2005:] and if easy laurels catching crowns's how I had dumb hope this would go
[2010-2019:] (then) how damned each day I am undoing done songs "so that...":
[Ocean City Sentinel-Ledger headline 1901]: the Wind Runs Sindia aground here
[1978-1996:] as the same wind once kissed our own house's wrap-around /
[2003 & 2016:] cancer bit you(/me) into halves / a fox into the rabbits
[1982, 2003, 2020, 2021 & prior & future:] Old Death enters from the left / the crowd screams in approval
some by knife / some asleep, botched doctoring, drowned and
blood, blood, blood
witness Oold Deatj handing out his card / and hearts stop as it's handled
Linotype / Roman Type in Chancery Hand read, / "run, run, run” / if you're able"
[1989:] while, by same winds...I'm back to the island that I started from
[2010-2019:] this song's worked in denial
[20__?:] that our young won't soon toss the first trowel over us
[2013:] 1:00am here replaying cards
work to retake beaches I've lost*
Will I steer home solo by stars
after Ilium / albums
[when finally...?:] answer, "no! no! no! no! no! no! no!..not all of us.”
[2019:] singing, "up! up! up! up! up! up! up!”
[2005:] first desk / first pet / first not-a-band at home
[2010:] little comes quick/ (at) 46 / I quit / to the boats..
[2000:] / this hitch / this lift / (I) met Juan at Metrodome /
/ he and I kissed / that night under the Perseids /
/ oh Death / look, I'm done //
[2008-2023 etc.:] Scene flips: / Fish sticks / five-foot Dimetrodon /
/ isn't it bliss? / Oh, kids / oh, life / Ithaka! (Ιθάκη)*//
from said wars / to bed years / (it's) our one gun in this fight
[April, 8th 2014 10:10pm:] the wind whips oaks over veranda
[1981:] in the same way wind kissed our old house's wrap-around /
[2014:] 10:00pm here Brooklyn by stars / (&) faded / laps of shuttles that / lost /
[2003:] (the) week that mom went blacked out the whole horrors / of poor Columbia //
[July, 2010:] (this) record's starting with regrets / (life's) a short tour then show's over
[1964:] the stopwatch that started in years [2024:] ends in days /
no one moment replays /
and the goals have been moved anyway //
[2010-2019:] to spend it / all working mics more & more seems a waste
[2008:] a baton-pass to kids's the best way that it's faced /
[2021:] and besides all the work gets erased //
[1981:] I cut the proms and played Red Clay then all day
I failed school [2013:] now I pay/ and there's more on the way...
[1980's-1990s:] default(ed) loans, neglect(ed) friends, [2002:] and never did call to say...
[2024:] show me the secret way...

[2011]: [HENRY AS BABY ON ORIG. VOCAL MIC c. 2011, CRIES]
[2003]: Exit work / at the old Amirrati* /
northbound Bowery found /(a) tile tamped down**
[2010]: (it's) hit record / VS CRIPPLING OBSESSIONs*//
[2013]: / face down (the) dead in HADES house, men / [2010]: mics up come July(,2010)
[2003]: that night I draw the shades /
in a dream done in ox blood* /
right outside / mom, as Persephone** stares
[1944]: Paul's lot’s end's an endless shot / as he crushes to jetty rocks
as boats beached Omaha knocked, / under amber rounds
[1997]: (as) Tim skid his whole soul sprang / bearing Brut and fresh flowers /
turned brown Crown Victoria devours / (the) King of Dayton's down*

I'll Bear
02:28

[Bill Swartz:] you're rolling..
[2016:] and to know / while too young
what it means when under thickets come / I'm tangled, it tires
[1989:] I laid in a bid to ride / with winners on the banner side
[2020:] I'm at peace / by the clock / as destroyers come, untie the dock
and so into month #2 / of combative men in sight
I tell you, I'll bear...
Out there / I might have a feel for the jugular and it's all due to war
[1989-2021] and over & over / "we'll cut him down and pin to size"
[2020:] so we play it / so hide clocks
[2013:] singing girls I know from ocean rocks
[2020-2021:] they implement plans
and potions for winning wide
far into the woods we ride
[2020-2021:] on the floor / on with the par!
with the pulpit turned towards the choir
and from the ground up
I've planned it out: pretty piles
I tell you..
[2010-2019:] I'll bear / how many 'winners' who showed it on the run from the war
[1989:] I came upon those two / [2020-2021] and constantly criticized / I'll tell you...
Out there / run over fields into jungle / and it's all due to war
[2021:] and over & over / we're "we'll call it done in big-enough signs"
[2023 & for good:] until you find your way, bye bye
