From ROME DAYS
Day Three
The milk is spoiled by at least a week
(Motives unclear)
(bellymemory, lurid, sanctified or
Pontic)
I look out the window and
on the door of the building directly across
some one has spray painted
femme d’intérieur
Day Four
All motives are
unclear but then green and
somewhat calloused
all cluttered around a
small studio apartment or “figure”
Day Five
The bed is unmade
The cows in the hallway are still gentle grazing
I have nothing else to show you
Day Six
Rome is an alternating
cycle of groin & doubt
Cottonlandscape
The clattering of Twombly flounce
