Excerpts
COUNTRY (No. 1, 57 Sections)
I sing the generous dead who live with me
companionate their silence fills the still page
of my day
body is deficient loud metamorphic
cannot be long held
yet I praise toward our speechless act
conversations : printed
COUNTRY (No. 2)
George Washington: :
you have addressed me
in the resonance of your portrait
the marble statue your conscience
a vein in stone pulses
the temple your brain
columns that span rivers
