Description:

Poems 1967-1980: The first you I will dissolve in my mouth / for sweetness; / but the next I will impatiently crunch. // Then I will rub you all over my body /and be refreshed; / and strew you about my little house. // One you I will put in my pocket / so as never to be without you; / I may send others / to my mother and sisters. // The finest you will fly on high / to dominate the earth; / after that I will save my favorite parts / and give the rest to the poor.
