Today I'm sitting at the coiling machine, binding little backs onto Snake 6. The issue is ready to spring out into the world—maybe at Donna Kuhn's "Bird a Door". Donna is from Aptos-by-the-Sea, one of the more beautiful places in the world, and her poetry should wake you up this morning:
BIRD A DOOR
—Donna Kuhn, Aptos
a feeling blue eye shadow gear
remember, plastic horses are hungry for snow
don't be skirts inside sleep
what i think, must make money
it is nite, very simple
dark bird as door
i feel very busy, a feeling u cant
not a violin going inside
camping the way u do
your rivers, coffee; i am a fence
u were the moon, moon splotch
im on my knees, break a bird
hissed in the dark, black dress
not a violin, what i think inside sleep
———————————
And don't forget Mary Zeppa's reading tomorrow night. Book Collector, 7:30.
