by Gregory Vincent St. Thomasino
1.
of the wives and of the son
are sane, are vest and savage.
of the movements, and repose
are riot, and Samaritan
2.
to follow kit and medal. laying by.
the eye, in evidence
is making prayer
is counting money
a giving thanks or self congratulation
a giving thanks or self congratulation
a person, a principle, who bind and loose
the parallel legs
the parallel arms
the body of straight lines
3.
the ways are few but roses
and there are caterpillars everywhere
and everything is real and everything is illusion,
my love.
4.
at fortune, or pasture, a summons
or
roster. a melody or loot
The stilted boot and recollection, charged, delayed
A landscape of one’s own. A caper, in recruit.
And darling, openly.
Gregory Vincent St. Thomasino’s new book of poems is The Valise (Dead Academics Press, 2012). In his spare time he writes at his blog http://thepostmodernromantic.blogspot.com/
