niedecker


winter when no flower.

blue sky as open.
each leaf chiaruscurate:
date, palm, holly.
the sky itself
with black backing.

angled the sun; a
pupil dilate for winter.
limpid red leaves
on the smooth and rounded branch.
shadow implied, that sharp
depth.


love the great good use
one person makes of another

corruscate horace
at the crack
with a black and red
back. it was
spring and summer
when i loved you.


daughter polly of the strawberry letter

less being more ergo all things are sum.
kill me now; i don't want
to wait for red apollyon
and dawn.
