For Lady Release [Strong Language]

by Bruce W Niedt

(Roommate’s fortune cookie:

"Pass for now, the risk is too great.")

 

Why have we upset the balance? Just when

security seems like a featherbed for me

 

the needles come in

oh, so fuckin slyly

 

that orbital influence of people and planets

turns things over on needled axes

 

goddamn you destroyed me

magnetic north is heading for Africa now and

iron filings go schizophrenic

 

what inner release is seething like iron in

molten state

the mold is somewhere –

 

are you shaping it? Are those

red and white

(searing flesh as mortal as it is)

globules stringing out on guitar string fantasies

as far as poles will go?

 

Opposites attraction

in that rare space between proscrip

tion and abandonment

 

(I would sleep on pine needles if you thought you could)

 

goddamn your antimagnetic thoughts

stretch me out on loss of gravity

like strings of electrons and back again

 

what slivers of mind pull me together

say what silver incongruities have got you now?

 

by the nose? by the cock? by the

pleasure points of nirvana

can’t you see straight no more?

 

NO something echoes in the air

NO something rings in silver place

NO screams an exploding

featherbed

 

[1973]
