Notes:
Introduction / Willis Barnstone -- I tightwalk (Exile) -- I do not
spring from the earth -- On the earth I am white -- Passing by -- The
sound of wind -- The trains did not appear -- A glance thrown
negligently -- I gasp for air -- At dawn we dissolved your wings --
An Emigree on a Greyhound Bus -- Heather on the underaged mountains
-- I come back to the valley -- Fire -- Hinkle's Hamburgers -- Along
the dreaming streets -- At the mercy of dogwood trees -- Everything
is so far away -- Winter came -- It was the dead who were so close --
The Air of My Childhood -- Before My Birth -- My mother the virgin --
The moon's rays dance their ritual -- Time goes so slowly -- After
you leave, the heart will lose its scent -- My love -- There are
paths of forgetting -- Russia -- I want to forget the flight of birds
-- The half-awakened night -- Mary Magdalene -- I am here - a sun in
eclipse -- It appeared once (Tenderness) -- When I dance, I smell of
the colors -- Runcible Spoon Coffeeshop -- The river's tears fondle
my thighs -- l want to forget the game -- Morning on Staten Island --
In Seville my love -- Put me into your dream -- The stars are
feminine gender -- Our children sleep on little stars at night -- In
October the universe in Bloomington is alive -- The snow is white --
Pictures on a Bicycle -- The words of bats and farmers -- I do not
know -- I only have one sun -- I have no sex -- To whistle is
possible -- And so -- I am free this day -- The deaf and dumb hand --
Robinson Crusoe - a semiotic poem -- Passages -- In Semiotic Worlds
-- Semiotic Time -- A Requiem for a Lost World -- Alethic Modalities
-- There are things -- As solar eruptions -- How long can you stand
to listen to silence? -- Life... -- I hang from a miracle -- God --
Roof -- I am the firework gone quiet -- There is no time - only water
-- I come here to do miracles -- I invite eternity the virgin to my
dinner -- There is a way of chestnut trees -- We are the orphans of
the meadows -- I will be a pale owl without a heart -- Where there is
no boundary -- There is no intermediary -- Sometimes I am silent like
a well -- The fierce breath of refusal -- In the solitude of mind --
Being shifts -- I am a distant awakening of seafoam.
