Author’s Introduction

It Catches My Heart in Its Hands (Poems 1955-1963)

the tragedy of the leaves

to the whore who took my poems

the state of world affairs

the day it rained at the los angeles county museum

a pleasant afternoon in bed

the priest and the matador

a 340 dollar horse and a hundred dollar whore

Crucifix in a Deathhand (Poems 1963-1965)

view from the screen

crucifix in a deathhand

machineguns towers & timeclocks

something for the touts

sway with me

lack of almost everything

no. 6

don’t come around but if you do

startled into life like fire

stew

lilies in my brain

i am dead

like a violet in the snow

letter from too far

man in the sun

woman

like all the years wasted

they, all of them, know

a nice day

At Terror Street and Agony Way (Poems 1965-1968)

7th race when the angels swung low and burned

on going out to get the mail

i wanted to overthrow the government

the girls

a note on rejection slips

to kiss the worms goodnight

john dillinger and
le chasseur maudit

the flower lover

traffic ticket

a little sleep and peace of silence

he even looked like a nice guy

children in the sky

the weather is hot on the back of my watch

note to a lady who expected rupert brooke

the difference between a bad poet and a good one

the curtains are waving

for the mercy mongers
