Frank O’Hara
Who was eaten by a taxi
Lost on a beach of fire
Who was eaten by a taxi
Lost on a beach of fire
Would the waves cover her husband as she did?
Were the many-colored sea gods beautiful?
I remember her floating face in her mother’s arms
A lightly powdered football wrapped in pink
Buddhas on stilted chairs
You know how / fussy he is
Today I am in the room watching the sun evaporate.
Here I am born a brilliant mistake from infinity
And the idea of existence reminds me of turtles
I can not feel her voice I am too far away skiing in Austria.
