Martin Downs
"A of It"
I weigh with slight ones shipments of mustard by mail
Inside in an October furnace
The lamp branch offices addresses raise and worry themselves
And take flashing shadings in lucentezza from the cut
That aerosols my windows
A communal land deplores this my lip of the darling
  While evening should be to us hips of friction we would also
  Have to wedge a treasure spoon and steal from dawn
  For dawn is gray and pinches the quarter a door
  Which is regulated at its hinges and gives form to years
  Of hundreds and one structure of window
Set a broken objective aside and move (their young heart is everything fluttery) OH -- my
Eye which was held still by sky!
Another aspiration of its arc could pulverize this
Ministry for the Policy of Will my heart  and towards the
Left doves control a fog of mortar
The known as one once more my expensive
Seems melancholic person
Any part is a course behind a course that gives somewhere
By passage -- that's a ticket -- but all commerce in the East after
During hurricane years and Christians! it was more that of a man
Or initial point in its markings of years
Jets in air hammers heated this evening
Repeated taps warmed up with hands whereas I rest the end to consider
Horse reverberator on its ostrich end-feather Ampèreheure!
