LIVID REMAINDERS
Geoffrey Olsen
$5

 ease splits long this
        about class, marks white
  tree distillate, fierce gloom
recede in place of
    accumulated people not said
  straight forward ocean recedes along
 shore vast purple black depth
   terror dailiness
   in proactive form
  everything in the space of “my life”
 rooted poet name
   fed cats at dawn
action resides collective turn
  broke piano

THE DEER HAVENS
Geoffrey Olsen
$5

the fur is dream and gelatinous
I can’t speak or present can’t speak
life within mouth of leaves
dream mouth

arrayed around the bleak opening
I do not have ownership over blade and all the
things of a blade on the edge of
climactic or feral

and the edge reproducing the dream in
a now of disaster songs
after songs and I’m also
the cat and the imbued indirect
that waits, waiting

unordered, unwindowed
