"step out onto the planet, / draw a circle 100 feet round. / Inside the circle are 300 things / nobody understands and, / maybe, nobody's ever seen. / How many can you find?" - Lew Welch 6.12.64

'she' (#1) - zach walsh

she is the face of the world
hearing misery wail.
the world of the midnight trenchcoat
hangs out the bomb.
the world of the great trunk disappearance
(the heist of the soul)

she is the mask of our ache.
the face of our boxed
screaming flower - -
a cry out of hope
out of need
out of karma
strung in the net
tied in the hoop
the spike that kills
so sad her beauty.
