Two Poems
Morgan Lucas Schuldt
Plainsong (For One)
Plays attentions.
Plays bides
& goes weak
w/ another's
ponderable
body.
Plays emphas,
plays is.
Catapult
& condoles.
Luke-sick
& sweaty
w/ boundary
(vivident
volving verge),
plays sometimes boil
to others
on mess-sheets
taking
a long dying
often time.
Each draw,
each repeat
plays speculations.
Ardors--
the randoms grim.
Appetitive. Debauch.
Hale
'gainst ex-
& lossly
when ruining too
easy.
When underdying,
unintentioned.
Plays the stills
consecutively.
W/ out complining.
Song of the Idiot Bulk
This somewhat song.
From light to what's left,
may I dulge it?
-inguistically?
In the last of the light,
the disassembling light
(ruin-yellow blew),
may I sing them--
this duskguise,
this strew-dark.
Oxygen
(its sweet knees),
& in silm
mutely.
Of this mouth,
that little open
(winning soft,
occupliable),
enjoying upclose,
or coming
(shakesbelieve)
to try, its angles.
Showmoving song
of salted greenshine
(waves, flash-jointed
plunges, runs)--
may I sing it?
From night to what's left
of this brunt's untaught
soft esoteries.
Its whole helve
& swelltips;
its betworks
& keepings;
__-lusions of if
thrilled loose,
& its every
small prone
(in noiselets
as vigories.)
Sung as if
sayparate.
Mademost,
madeleast
of light
& what's heft--
the mind,
that kinking
topknot
where it is
blood to remember.
How
as shirtsgo
haste
language is
strangelets.
Ambigracious.
First enough.
