Preface:

 “I wish I could tell the next thing, But in dreams I can’t, 
 so will let this stand in for it, this me 
 I have become, this loving you either way.”
                                                 --John Ashbery
                                     from “From Estuaries, From Casinos,”  Hotel Lautrémont
  
 “Throw away the lights, the definitions
 and say of what you see in the dark.”
                                                 --Wallace Stevens
  
  
 Said Dali to Lorca:
  
 …escape
 from the watch
 and become
 a new bodily joint—
 in the place
 that corresponds
 to the sex organs
 of bread crumbs…
  
  
 If you think you find yourself  here, 
 you are correct.
