KAR-AI!: JUNE 19, 1995

Of the first Temple
Exploding beyond redress—
Its fractured falling
Foundation Swirling
Stone-crumbs & rose-rocks through all
That Would be—&—Was

Excavating me
From the Crashed Car She Wrapped me
In a Heavy Roll
Of Yellow Plastic:

Through the Engine: The
Bridge & the Windshield & the
Engine through What’s Left
Of me in a Year’s
Bed & Under a Knife’s Glow
To Become—Well—Here
