Nude poem (2)
This poem right                 here
reminds me of another poem
lost in remembering     nothing
about itself or the intervention
the scratches here and there
uncared into scars
recur in amnesic dreams
like the unfinished lines
neither erased nor delivered
squeeze and writhe about
in the manner of rain-washed
earthworms peppered
in semi-abandoned diaries
this poem here is
about that poem somewhere:
a nude poem perhaps that was
one without words for ornaments
one with feelings alone for flesh
a nude poem of yours
a nude one mine
A review of the book can be read in Kitaab.
