WHAT COULD SHE SAY TO THE FANTASTIC FOOLYBEAR … 

What could she say to the fantastic foolybear 

and what could she say to brother 

and what could she say 

to the cat with future feet 

and what could she say to mother 

after that time that she lay lush 

among the lolly flowers 

on that hot riverbank 

where ferns fell away in the broken air 

of the breath of her lover 

and birds went mad 

and threw themselves from trees 

to taste still hot upon the ground 

the spilled sperm seed
