XVII.
What about the days we choose to live
Lima’s words
The idea of destiny is a phrase that says
they are coming to get us
it is completed by another
go out to meet them
in Gamboa shadows lighting fires in caves
or is it Bolaño again
lost images
poems and
a lump smells
recoil we do know at least a part of us does
questionable girls
because a girl rolls over
because of a mistranslation the part with no
regret the role of the girl is
in question and
old gods do die and new gods do
appear
appear
Jesus in a hotel room Tosches’s Jesus girls
pay to take him in mouth a part of him
Nick’s word irrumates
a part of us remembers paradise
but I told him the date and then said
that I had been running across the street
to help her
when I was hit by the car
Straub is it so strange in both Peter S. and Bolaño
there are casement windows
a lump smells
a life swerves
a green stares up
at
lunch
her legs
