Thomas Fink interviewed me for Dichtung Yammer about my long poem "John Dark".

The Good Enough Other

bothered by

the backside

of a mirror

sucked into

being behind

what's not

entirely but

not entirely

not seen.

 Begging the Question

Running

the gauntlet,

looking for

loopholes,

yet to

have submitted

but wanting to

(beg the question).

 Here...

on the cusp

of legibility,

just to the side

of erasure,

adjacent to jouissance.

 From a Notebook

If one

denies oneself

one thing

one can

deny one's

self another.

The opposite's

also true.

Addiction swings

both ways.

 Theory and Practice

There isn't

much which

doesn't make

me anxious.

 

I Want To Talk About You

 

You are

a figment,

               

                 jammy

signal interference,

 

an odor –

raw scent.

 

*

 

You/us.

 

We are

entangled but

 

discontinuous

in what

 

is felt,

what seen.

 

*

 

There is

no I,

 

no one

to know,

 

without what

you do.

 

What will

you make

 

of me?

 

*

 

No one’s

a list. 

 

Nonetheless one

segments in-

 

to parts

and patterns.

 

*

 

Let’s talk

about our

 

borders and

those who

 

haunt us.
