[email protected]. January 2019 1 NEW YEARS LETTER 1. Trying new dangers amoebas in friend rice. We mercenary men goth’d our way west until we unraveled all rhe languages and used them all up. Then pity poor butterfly voiceless as light. 2. As if we selves are selves as pathogens. Dark audience, they collect our dreams and publish them in an anthology called today. January 2019 2 3. Something like that at least. Something is happening to me. Albestone dropped from my hand but not lost, never lost, it glistens in the shadows we call music. 4. See, naming things already, who gave me this near year? The stricture relents, Bach’s English Suites— I would have been a piano if I could, such love I have of touch. January 2019 3 5. Fingers, fingers, not rhyme. Specifics of geographic location— Orpheus in hell, Eurydice’s face at last from that unsilent company. In this age, women have all the lines. 6. This isn’t talking, see, this is lurking in the shadows.
