IN THE ‘SCONSET BUS
Upon the fallen
cheek
a gauzy down–
And on
the nape
–indecently
a mat
of yellow hair
stuck with
celluloid
pins
not quite
matching it
–that’s
two shades
darker
at the roots
Hanging
from the ears
the hooks
piercing the
flesh–
gold and semi-
precious
stones–
And in her
lap the dog
(Youth)
resting
his head on
the ample
shoulder his
bright
mouth agape
pants restlessly
backward
from POEMS 1932
it was the revelation: that there was of such importance, in the minute observation, with wonder, of the minutest things, with love, and their intersposal with each other, with relationship, quite denuded of any sticky intention, that let’s them so; that has made WCW such an influential poet for me
