A Little Business Venture That Didn't Work Out *

* From "The Lonely Passion Of Judith Hearne", or" Judith Hearne" , by Brian Moore.


spinister put the needle in the broken record
spruce up
a barbed bouquet of irony

washed down with a wee dram
a wee sup
a wee nip
a little holy water*
names my familiar

steak, my hart


sunny side down
eiffel tower tombstone
falls on you.


atoms and intuition, dissipation

bound.
