Pete Spence
I Figure.
i figure right here
to move on to the next line
everything else dissolves
into a foggy ether where
summer is just on hold
someone goes past looking
for the lid of summer
somewhere in the shadow
of a tepid cloud that would
like to be somewhere else
would grow feathers
to be somewhere else
Reading The Collected Poems Of Jim Dine.
nights go by
each night i read
a little more
of Poems To Work
On zips on clouds
some whether due
read some more
and sleep is due
another night more
Poems To Work On
i like the parts i like
they hover about
another night i'm
working on Poems
To Work On there's
nothing docile
nothing to surprise
a mirror and after
a day in the sun
i'm getting ready
to work some Poems
To Work On they
blaze across the page
and some lines
are nicely coloured in
