The Poetry Of.
Gwendoline Karas......................................


whatever burbles

got lost
in the woods, I
blamed
you-

thigh
burn, saltsweat
brutish hills- mosquitoes,
me- the bee's
knees
knocked- we
sparred

tromped,
saw the car
through trees, walked along a
log-spanned
stream to mid
point,
fell

-how you delighted
in boots
to
sun, shirt
undone- loved every
dripping kiss

-lips slid
to grin, mouth open, stuck
yodeling
in each other's
throats, a snuck-up
laughter

sat
in shiverish comfort
after, watched
sun drop- knew laughing
saves us prat
fall
into love





falling asleep on a stranger's shoulder

eyes wear
cement
shoes, sinking

sink
ing...

mafia
of exhaustion
made its move
to hit while
body
rides the bus

no wall, no
pillow: listing to the
right

to lean on
upright
banker
type- head finds
shoulder, stranger


things
have happened
than an up
tight suit
forgetting to pull
away-

but when I
wake,
apologize, say
I'm so sorry, get a

well,
I'm not,
returned-

that's
sumpthin
else-- should I be
embarrassed
should I
thank him

I just
transfer; traffic light's
stuck on yellow.

nobody
moves.





dunghills can be lovely

open
my veins with
unlaudable dogs & dung
hills, i'll see
god sometimes.

he squats
in ignominy, lurched back into
shadows

-beauty is so
arbitrary, i sometimes find its only face,
un
churched
