Prose refuted:
struck, the hour stays
struck—an indoor resolution
and most merciless of all
your face made me noisy
the essay melted
in the blood mine
as if we had any choice
prose refuted:
that rumor enjambed on
a plaque in the red-brick museum of loneliness
you need so much research to make it beautiful
but please don't make me say it.
