  THE SON OF DELMORE SWARTZ


Lou Read is peeling of the wall

Coming unstuck mic and all.

Postered to give me strength

Life size trans my great.

 

A blue mask philosopher poet

The son of Delmore Swartz,

You are who you want to be

The King of New York City.

 

The father killed the son, a fabled

Pit and pendulum, Andy’s chest

Was in his heart the Raven had

Blood on his claws never never-



More he rooks above the open door

All this came down in one swoop

Like a great American wave. An Eco

Warrior brave, they’ll shit in

The river you know.

 

Like a tai-chi grace later a perfect

Day’s embrace. Lou’s so easy he

Is not gone his memory is a re-in

Car-nation, rock’n’roll song.

 

Like a graceful tai-

chi posture ill end this verse

in haiku leather lustre

 

Stick him back up to radiance.

Sweet Jane and Sally can dance.

HERE NOW AND NOW MUCKER I can't remember a moment by the half-door, it is etched into my broken mind. A verbal memory, A Fox skulk...
