Dust devil -- After the diagnosis -- Five houses down -- To grasp at the mercury minnows are -- Sitting down to breakfast alone -- All good conductors -- It takes particular clicks -- The mole -- Darkcharms -- Every riven thing -- This mind of dying -- One time -- From a window -- Voice of one hand -- Country in search of a symbol -- The wind is one force -- Hermitage -- Late fragment -- Do you remember the rude nudists -- Bombs rock Cairo -- Not altogether gone -- A good landscape for grief -- Jouissance -- And I said to my soul, be loud -- Hammer is the prayer -- When the time's toxins -- Small prayer in a hard wind -- The reservoir -- For D. -- I sing insomnia -- Then I slept into a terror world -- Lord is not a word -- So much a poet he despises poetry -- Given a God more playful -- Lord of having -- It is good to sit even a rotting body -- Gone for the day, she is the day.
