ANNE PORTUGALI need said Susannah to write his name
I need said Susannah to take him these letters my stations
chronicle of a year of misery
pardon this bath
is livable all year round
even if the heart (need beat no more)
leaps and leaps in the air
why I stay on the edge of the pool
why I stay’’

Every Shack
every shack has its girl-next-door
and the surge of photographers
or maritime observers
marks their scores
above the painting
needed are two twins
two horsemen
to cross the zone
came alone
unaware
and in the minefield
crossing with nothing exploding
unaware
clogs near the detonators
and the denser fine gravel
