LASHES WITH WATER
The vision of a man or woman
is blurred underwater
The body underwater moves
as if held and pushed along
by invisible beings
Hearing is changed
Scent impossible
And touch turns
to a mix of clouds
and silk
I met her underwater
Her hair was made of
thick corded, elven wood
Her skin was burnished bronze
Green eyes flecked
with meteors
And curves were graceful...

Elegy * written by jose angel buesa
translation from Spanish
by stanley gemmell
It is good that it rain when you are sleeping,
while the men pass by but don't know it's your street.
You, who ignore everything, tell me why it is night.
I know how to close a book, and to wake up with rain.
Sometimes, your look has a September ending.
You, who watch the clouds, how slow...
Poem For A Girl (Who Is Copper Voiced)
Part One
I sit and watch the moon corrode. All my thought has been placed into a
cypher. It’s as if every heartbeat inside me were a flutter of wings.
Copper voiced and ruinously beautiful, you approach me in a tall and
slender dream… water voiced and murmuring, small in your voice of
reeds. Piping girl flute, girl mist, whirling suns...
Like Rain For Northmass
Polaris my single song thought
Girl heaven outlayed splashed in milk
Poet's inferno of tangled, yearning roots
Desire in the fields, in the beach sands,
In the cooling muds of the valley,
And in the stillness of perfect gratitude
When, haunted, my dreams revisit
My imagined conquest
Girl star bright to my dark
Lain asleep upon a soft bed
Of thick, white quilt, drunk on...
POEM IN LOVE (excerpt) when you were gone…
everything was a statue
the cats did not lick their lips
the howl inside of
the eyes became quiet
the trees became
experiments, no rain fell
people talked without
moving their lips,
with glances, making
reference to the
“sick one”- in love.
I heard the sound of
rustic animals mourning:
saved for thirty years
in a glass...

My Goodness
It was a great run, but kudos to the man who finally broke the streak of me not receiving one of these hilariously disastrous emails. For telling me to quit “whoring” because it’s not “good for [my] soul,” calling me devoid of insight, telling me stop teaching as well (“because they will never love you”—not, they won’t learn anything from me?) and ending the whole...
The Newest Avant-Garde
As Donald Tyson explains it in “New Millenium Magic”, the numerous god-forms -which are all gods bearing a name or a form by which humans have limited and defined them- are both more and less than human. They have no free will or agency, yet they embody immense powers in nature and are eternal and indestructable, in human terms. Even if everyone were to...

In Your Room
In Your Room
Prose,
Stanley Gemmell
It was in your room, while you were away that it occurred to me how much
I loved you, and hardly knew you. I heard things I wanted to tell you
inside me. The walls of your room heard them, and being the four
precise walls of a goddess’ room, took pity upon me and made me drowsy
with sleep. I dreamt excellent dreams. I dreamt I saw a giant figure,
who...
