'Letter Forty Three': Dear equivalence,//I can feel a letter/welling up from that massive//fathom at the cusp/of what breath borders//upon hesitant/heights, here//where my absences/are all up to spec.//Soon this letter will shed its dilemma,/like an exasperated lemon-cloud--//Then the diehard physicalists/will have to absorb//the difficulty of such spendy/ephemera. How I enter//endless confrontation with no/emblem but skin.//What more want do you want from a street,/but a clusterfuck of stars at the keyhole?//I'm applying to be a resident/of a place I already am--//equivalent to a mastery of presence,/my original legitimate habitat//is surrender.
