The alphabet as elephant
in the elegant living room of want
those spaces we eliminated
from the poem so time
like someone who jumps
into the sea can stand
alone as our creation
to have just noticed
your jaw’s been clenched
for nine years so it
hurts to relax some
have started to think it’s
a disaster of form
from which all sense
of imminence has been
thoroughly wrung
so only the body remains
like in bullfighting
when the noble bull
is dragged from the arena
and the matador is bowing.
