EMPTY CUP.

She oozed into
    my bed
like a thick yellow
    custard.

She committed american
    truths.
she turned wild
    in fray.

She froze language,
   worse
       she froze
good old sonorous
him.

She sighed at
both the sun
      and the angel.

She said thing.
               (she quivered.)
All is abuzz.

The newspaper says
               she'll somebody be
famous.

Her heart is only kind
  with   each    new
ecstasy.

Her breasts only
   soft
when she is news.

The hours we had
     left
were wasted by
                     strangers.

          from terror of towns.
