'	A
And so we may arrive by Talmud skill	B
And profane Greek to raise the building up	C
Of Helen's house against the Ismaelite	D
King of Thogarma and his habergeons	E
Brimstony blue and fiery and the force	E
Of King A baddon and the beast of Cittim	F
Which Rabbi David Kimchi Onkelos	E
And A ben Ezra do interpret Rome	F
'	A
THE ALCHEMIST	D
I	-
	-
The mind has shown itself at times	E
Too much the baked and labeled dough	D
Divided by accepted multitudes	E
Across the stacked partitions of the day	D
Across the memoranda baseball scores	E
The stenographic smiles and stock quotations	E
Smutty wings flash out equivocations	E
	-
The mind is brushed by sparrow wings	E
Numbers rebuffed by asphalt crowd	D
The margins of the day accent the curbs	E
Convoying divers dawns on every' corner	G
To druggist barber and tobacconist	D
Until the graduate opacities of evening	H
Take them away as suddenly to somewhere	I
Virginal perhaps less fragmentary cool	J
There is the world dimensional for	K
those untwisted by the love of things	E
irreconcilable	L
And yet suppose some evening I forgot	D
The fare and transfer yet got by that way	D
Without recall lost yet poised in traffic	M
Then I might find your eyes across an aisle	N
Still flickering with those prefigurations	E
Prodigal yet uncontested now	O
Half riant before the jerky window frame	F
	-
There is some way I think to touch	P
Those hands of yours that count the nights	E
Stippled with pink and green advertisements	E
And now before its arteries turn dark	Q
I would have you meet this bartered blood	D
Imminent in his dream none better knows	E
The white wafer cheek of love or offers words	E
Lightly as moonlight on the eaves meets snow	D
	-
Reflective conversion of all things	E
At your deep blush when ecstasies thread	D
The limbs and belly when rainbows spread	D
Impinging on the throat and sides	E
Inevitable the body of the world	D
Weeps in inventive dust for the hiatus	E
That winks above it' bluet in your breasts	E
	-
The earth may glide diaphanous to death	R
But if I lift my arms it is to bend	D
To you who turned away once Helen knowing	H
The press of troubled hands too alternate	D
With steel and soil to hold you endlessly	S
I meet you therefore in that eventual flame	F
You found in final chains no captive then	T
Beyond their million brittle bloodshot eyes	E
White through white cities passed on to assume	F
That world which comes to each of us alone	U
	-
Accept a lone eye riveted to your plane	V
Bent axle of devotion along companion ways	E
That beat continuous to hourless days	E
ne inconspicuous glowing orb of praise	E

	-
Brazen hypnotics glitter here	W
Glee shifts from foot to foot	D
Magnetic to their tremulo	S
This crashing opera bouffe	X
Blest excursion this ricochet	D
From roof to roof	X
Know Olympians we are breathless	E
While nigger cupids scour the stars	E
	-
A thousand light shrugs balance us	E
Through snarling hails of melody	S
White shadows slip across the floor	K
Splayed like cards from a loose hand	D
Rhythmic ellipses lead into canters	E
Until somewhere a rooster banters	E
	-
Greet naively yet intrepidly	S
New soothings new amazements	E
That cornets introduce at every turn	Y
And you may fall downstairs with me	S
With perfect grace and equanimity	S
Or plaintively scud past shores	E
Where by strange harmonic laws	E
All relatives serene and cool	S
Sit rocked in patent armchairs	E
	-
I have known metallic paradises	E
Where cuckoos clucked to finches	E
Above the deft catastrophes of drums	E
While titters hailed the groans of death	R
Beneath gyrating awnings I have seen	Z
	-
The incunabula of the divine grotesque	A2
This music has a reassuring way	D
	-
The siren of the ' springs of guilty song	B2
Let us take her on the incandescent wax	E
Striated with nuances nervosities	E
That we are heir to she is still so young	C2
She cannot frown upon her as she smiles	E
Dipping here in this cultivated storm	F
Among slim skaters of the gardened skies	E
	-

III	-
	-
Capped arbiter of beauty in this street	D
That narrows darkly into motor dawn	D2
You here beside m e delicate ambassador	G
Of intricate slain numbers that arise	E
In whispers naked of steel	S
religious gunman	E2
Who faithfully yourself will fall too soon	F2
And in other ways than as the wind settles	E
On the sixteen thrifty bridges of the city	S
Let us unbind our throats of fear and pity	S
	-
We even	G2
Who drove speediest destruction	E2
In corymbulous formations of mechanics	E
Who hurried the hill breezes spouting malice	E
Plangent over meadows and looked down	H2
On rifts of torn and empty houses	E
Like old women with teeth unjubilant	S
That waited faintly briefly and in vain	V
	-
We know eternal gunman our flesh remembers	E
The tensile boughs the nimble blue plateaus	E
The mounted yielding cities of the air	I
	-
That saddled sky that shook down vertical	S
Repeated play of fire no hypogeum	F
Of wave or rock was good against one hour	G
We did not ask for that but have survived	S
And will persist to speak again before	K
All stubble streets that have not curved	S
To memory or known the ominous lifted arm	F
	-
That lowers down the arc of Helen's brow	O
To saturate with blessing and dismay	F
	-
A goose tobacco and cologne	U
Three winged and gold shod prophecies of heaven	E2
The lavish heart shall always have to leaven	E2
And spread with bells and voices and atone	U
The abating shadows of our conscript dust	S
	-
Anchises' navel dripping of the sea	E
The hands Erasmus dipped in gleaming tides	E
Gathered the voltage of blown blood and vine	I2
Delve upward for the new and scattered wine	I2
brother thief of time that we recall	S
Laugh out the meager penance of their days	E
Who dare not share with us the breath released	S
The substance drilled and spent beyond repair	I
For golden or the shadow of gold hair	I
	-
Distinctly praise the years whose volatile	S
Blamed bleeding hands extend and thresh the height	S
The imagination spans beyond despair	I
Outpacing bargain vocable and prayer	I
