We may keep the home fire burning,or we may burn the house down;we may stay home, burning inwardly,or we may take off in a conflagrationof self-assertion. We watch the firesof destruction, of desire, and ofambition, and wonder what we canrisk, and what we might gain. LAUREN ELKIN , Flneuse


Like fire that burns the field, preparesit for crops, let the mind be seared byfailure into readiness. SASHA WEST , Agriculture Begins

OUR HOUSE IS FULL OF FOG
* ( hsinu okkar er oka) 1987
Im a runner girl and the dusk lives in my eyes. I make advances on the night. My lips drink sweat and thirst; my lips, gentle gentle, my lips, lovely lovely. * My tongue is skilled and knows how to capsize minds; so if youve thoughts, like stones like spears, they will slide down the valley straight into the sea! And never never walk again crouched inside you. * My mouth is a mussel.

My cunt tastes like a prawn. Breasts white and soft like fish cheeks. My legs are sprigs always wiggling! * I am a brand-new runner girl with fire in the pit of my stomach and my knees in stitches. Completely newgrown grew up last year! Dad calls me a flower and mum doesnt understand a thing. No! I am not a dry doughnut you eat with milk. I am a mussel, prawn and fish cheek.

A new potato in fall buttered, with salt. Skin ice-cold milk; sometimes tepid sometimes steamed. * And my nostrils dog-like sniff you and sniff you out. I know where we will be found

I.
The rain grows. It echoes under the trees. The tick-trickling stream whispers a magnitude to the ears.

The air hums and rubber lances swish going down, down underground. The rain grows. On the endless silence of man. No god no soul under the curtain of trees. Above us is the river, might and ocean there sail kayaks and rafts. Above us is the river Ophelia on three wings bathes herself and rolls slowly to one side.

Our mud-caked journey down a narrow path. The rain grows. The boles strike at my heart. You sniff out my every step. The boles strike at my heart.

II.
Familiar tigers in heat in cages nearby but nowhere.
II.
Familiar tigers in heat in cages nearby but nowhere.

Native religious ceremonies hidden under trees. The trucks of the city ascend the sky. Through the narrow glade I beware of you but call to you in silence. Your eyes those of the bird say: do something! And I rush into the greenery, never look at you again.

III.
We tiptoe into green disasters. Your eyes wet.

Dig up out of each other the cries of the animal. The rain grows under the leaf crowns. I stretch your lips. You colour my cheeks. Drink the fear in my eyes. Tongue and Silence

i.
You sprinkle sawdust on my silence. Tongue and Silence
i.
You sprinkle sawdust on my silence.

On my wet dripping wet silence sawdust.

ii.
Your tongue, long long, washes me onto dry land, into a valley: and everything is merry with us. You speak and I.
iii.
I pour from my cunt the dripping goldveins of kings: behold, that you disappear, my friend, behold you disappear, my bird friend.
iv.
I scan your cavity and try to hear your heart stir.
v.
My heart beats in your palm and only there.
v.
My heart beats in your palm and only there.

It bursts! in your palm only there. * Anoint my sleep and breast with your tongue and promises of cautious fingers. * And praise me! say: you do well and praise me! into sleep into sleep with you: that I do not walk woodlands searching for you, with you . Come close, take my head too! give my thought a hand, touch my tenderness, and praise me! and permit me to sleep under you.

vi.
I touch a murmur, and move slightly. You lay me a life buoy.

Murmur, and a skinny cable quivering and still within earshot a whimper. * Birds kept vigil over us and still I wake inside you. And follow you to mountains and home pastures hidden under a wing. But only for a brooks babble and hollow, tongue and throat.

vii.
Your tongue, longer than another, washes me ashore. * Pitch-black solariums of an ancient morning blush and bubbles, soap bubbles burst at your window and you wait lying with burned fingers: ancient, drudging candlelight and locked doors. * Pitch-black solariums of an ancient morning blush and bubbles, soap bubbles burst at your window and you wait lying with burned fingers: ancient, drudging candlelight and locked doors.

That I be able to speak and your windows be decorated with vines and blue spruce and you weave me in nets and undress, caress my slimy flesh and lick and the heat fog of your house wipes out the slog in the puddles of oblivion and in the vigilance of morning: fingerprints and words.

viii.
Go out and defend myself. First a fence post, then string, barbed wire, nails and more sticks. This is our place, here we were . Send a message and after you, a horse come and see our story a fort above ground
ix.
See I hang upright on a cliff and my poem, a whittled note, and my poem, a paper airplane, a boat made of paper, it floats on a pond by your lodgings

WAITRESS AT AN OLD RESTAURANT
* (erna gmlu veitingahsi) 1993
The doves at home are white as sails. Yet I have told no one about them.

They act as curtains when I sleep and curtains while I wake. My love, if I die.

tied to a deck chair inside a mountain with a warm clock in my mouth every quarter hour a strike from above and pennies pelt the back of my neck from the slot drops
like a jar he waits for him for him to draw near waits for him like a jar
three children lick milk from the trees the mother sits in a bamboo chair and crochets hearts together the father comes home as the sun drops with white birds on his back leaves behind heavy spoors in the road the mother sweeps them over and the foxes go blind no one enters this place without permission
Three poetesses in white bras sit around a low round-table. With books in hand. A man dressed in a pirate sweater comes in through the door from a snowstorm and sits at the womens table. Takes off his sweater.

When he touches one of them they are already dead. And dont come back to life. Though they await his kisses. Then he stands up, takes hold of the touched one and carries her out. The current of air when the door opens and closes turns the pages of the books of all three.

swarming with blind old doe rabbits in the chair suck the words I left behind on the three-legged table in the garden when I approach barefoot with earmuffs and a furry rifle
I put on a pair of gloves (lead grey) and embraced you.

I snapped on a mask (leather) and spoke to you. With a wig I departed for town to meet others. (you were taking a bath, give me a moment, I always get hysterical when I think about you in the bath, just a moment) And I returned home with a pearl-trimmed heart. (sewed it myself) Long nails. (of course I counted the days) Red lips in the left and right palm: give me treats treat me good they said to you on the doorstep as I returned.

she wipes the blood from her face (the sword) rinses the apron in the cold cold water (in the blue sink) lays down the apron the morning dew demands an answer in order to dry walks out * whether she murdered, was murdered doesnt matter * the autumn air is tender on the foothills clear as water in a truthpond the morning dew rests against her blue cheek
