Poem by Billy Cancel

ruined hilltop castle bleached out abstraction i've had a few

gestures towards neutral minimalist intervention in small space
reader as accomplice so between vertical being horizontal land- 
scape paint up get ready for the new season the grace to live
variously     black trees white turret themes themes themes  
not mere cogs in the meadow.     luminous city between rapid
translation & retrospect you made me fluctuate     i was walking
down the street the other day to disrupt future occults     i was
walking down the street the other day a man came up to me i
was under cyber attack     if the punchline was a rack of gold black
pink what other objects & text might have stuck?     slow camera
spread radiant subject that's what it's all about deep valley drive
easy oil planned variant for bravo bull's eye dazzling all over pattern
courtesy of competition's discipline a swing of lord's meat
summer open spaces annual sovereign dust run but fragile start
from bright empty tentative past neutral segment smooth through
dark cryptic via hailed significance please come quick am alone

never ending nerve work strong potential ghost candidate early

with your doppelganger she throws the

queen of hearts i drop the nine of puss

you're the fiscal cliff

by Donna Kuhn

the bed is a church

u have a plate for

him so he can take 

off without u

the tall building is me

a plate of men

very uncooked

your eyebrow is a church

sleepwalk me, work is bed

the bed is scared, u again

u lose your soup

talk and sleep

she is a bed

i can't serve u

i don't know u

i say i lost u once

u can get worse

stay, this bed is

very tall and has

long braids

i hope i'm not in boston

u died and i call u, u look

at me but u keep walking

away; i say think

u died and u sleep

the floor, she is never

there; you're in boston

and u died

woo woo woo woo woo

woo woo woo, i can't

settle down; your soup

takes off without u

you're the fiscal cliff

i can't know u, i'm done

i can't settle down and

sleep walk, someone

else
