Cleaving eigner


melville / olson / eigner

“gull / in the
clear sky above”
—Larry Eigner
“August 18, 1965,”
windows / yards / walls / yard

the cleave — its own mind
opening & closing — going 3-ways
triangulating — transgressing
touching — troubling my mind
terraforming — olson gloucester
swampscott—berkeley / beyond
touching bases — l=a=n=g=u=a=g=e
langpo poets — silliman bernstein
boulder — coolidge maclow kerouac
but larry eigner — in his wheelchair
like billy budd — high in the forecastle
surveying the vast — melvillian sea
projecting himself — mapping outward
what does he see — way up there?
beyond hart crane — beyond key west?
