Book of Love (Part 5 of 5)

Kate Greenstreet

The 3 Cs ("like the 7 Seas")
Clarity
Contact
Commitment--
you can do it!
with grammar,
code,
the kind of stuff that washes up,
trash,
the kind you'd never throw away, you'd never have it
in the first place.
Blue plastic bottles, two, like
from another country.
From another time.

:

One, the creative.
9 in the second place.
"In the third place, I'm seven."
sand / pretend
The papers and the piece of
green material--
I got them, I got out of there.

two

the receptive
water

"rock
and language"

progress

what conducts
what carries

red our hearts
our diamonds

black as pitch

:

I dreamed I lived in a very windy place. The trash just blew across the kitchen floor,
and there was nothing I could do about it. It was such a windy place.
