little poem, or loose slipper, for eileen



































As soon as he had taught his night-shirt
how to imitate the cartoon head of an old man
he would purposely urinate
upon the mustache corners. belt.

like a wrinkled
disembodied head
he stands before the toilet

the green and violet turtle
like a perfume bottle
would modulate
through the skin

intestines
hanging on a wind-vane
curlicue of snow

you've seen those deep sea creatures
with glowing white meerschaums
hanging out their transparent heads

meerschaum the head
of some old arab
like a coin pinched
in a pulley

a disembodied head
can be made
from a trick print yukata
