thousand and three: here’s two poems by w. b. keckler of
ANOTHER BEAM
To make stereoscopic steps in a
minute
organism suddenly, maybe a
dinoflagellate
red without a mood?
The ball bounces. Repeating sun.
It is saintly to counter atoms
in a new alphabet of the
spirit,
transrational
mountain of voices
I've a strong inkling to.
Old desire is
myriad and incubates.
Under my
skin, all identification
is scurrilous tickle of you,
zone of ratios.
My elegy
is a bird all curve,
the air swimming through.
BELATED LETTER
I stretch my neck as a wading
bird apes the latest sculpture
to please you, when you pass on
the sidewalk, thinking of us.
A different situation gnaws at
mind, fissionable material the way
grass shimmers in wind many
directions at once. Speaking is a blob.
I don't want to distort the
smaller petals of mind that fall now.
It is another season, a
gradation you waited for, its texture
of an old movie splintered, its
backbone broken and filled with
dust. How can I forget
even the disconnected number of the room
that no longer exists?
Thinking as a dragonfly moves from waterlily
to waterlily, I touch your
hand's soft paper. Everything random
resolves into your body, and my
mind relaxes, breathes deeply
under the dark water of
thinking. I use my blood's gills.
--w.b. keckler

toner skid, format a morph,
letterjunk, text familiar,
a mark not a sign, black nick,
presignified, ancient text
days, mere scribble, the golden
original, toner galore, dash
ell, thick information, halve
text, altercop, bruised paper,
check the reality, ghoat,
blank purpose, turn the copy
into an original, hereality,
greater zero, night collapse,
freedom from information,
famous chemicals, this half,
a pinch of stuff, om’s om,
trance science, there’s a big
diff, the sound of typing,
just an original, go fish!,
forget the name, yax,
fifteen sixty-nine, thirteen
seventy, poitics, lurkies,
nothing for nothing, not
in the market, no connect,
what are you doing with the
text?, void in japan,
absolute torque, square
eyes, being in the condition
of knowing, no gizmos,
ephemeral websites, here
eye is, confluence type,
here binary, the exact
dimensions of this, still
stalling, re: nothing, do
not write anymore, shine
