I hereby give "Word-Dreamer: poetics" to you. Please share, copy, archive and show to anyone anything you want. It's a shared culture out there: and so let's act as if it were one. A sense of ownership impels me to respect copyright but then how would you know me if I kept it all to myself? I thrive by needing you, needing a culture of Internet readers and needing the only true networked freedom we've got (after Nina Paley).

"Juan"
In a 10’ X 6’ hovel, strapped on hands and back
til he’s red Juan said “In one more chamber, just one”.
He's decades younger, & ficus pure & he'd have run
—only he!— bare-footed against the rocks, for her
Sorted badly under the rumors, the wine and valley,
& the arroyo heat
only she'd have seen (only she) the cross thru a veil
To redden after prayers is to need it, wrapt in armlets
A panel each for their love!
