Occupied Territories

Poem

emissions:

To be idiomatic in a vacuum,
it is a shining thing! I

see it, it’s like being inside
a bird. Where do you live,

are you sick?
I am breathing the pure sphere

of loneliness and it is sating.
Do you know young René Rilke?

He is a rose, he is together, all
together, like a wind tunnel,

and the rest of us are testing
our wings, our straining struts.

— Frank O’Hara
