No Matter That My All Is Here


For love of the hairless Egyptian cat—who’d believe this?—
He sniffs the difference between the skin above
Your tan line and the skin below your tan line
And can I feel them to find out? You always never had
A tan line I know but the subtlest blushes of your body
Are so stunningly obedient to silly exceptionally pushy ideas
Hoary matadors and we know either way the bull
Loses his head in the end he falls face down tongue-tied
And thirsty on that dirt his own blood his last drink
He accepts the death of his bright turgid little
Magnolia—are you still listening, cutie? All the dopes
Dropped interest years ago as soon as I began
Singing this song but you see there comes a moment of
There comes a pause when no distances appear
