Doorway without a door
the doorway always open
one at a time inside
one at a time I am one
no third person is one
one is I on is I me
the one primitive I me
I me the child of pain
the primitive I inside
inside the turbulence
inside the black rooms.
One I know really one scream
hard not to within one scream
what it is what the movement
same passionate same movement
first movement of resignation
same as before the same alone
away from the weddings alone
not in the wedding pictures
other other possible pictures
blacktop other blacktopped
not in other I me within one
echoes of in one black room
within one in one back room.
Within one in one black room
echoes of in one black room
not in other I me within one
blacktop other blacktopped
other other possible pictures
not in the wedding pictures
away from the weddings alone
same as before the same alone
first movement of resignation
same passionate same movement
what it is what the movement
hard not to within one scream
one I know really one scream.
The motive for movement one scream
from one room to another movement
into another from one black room
red after black into this red room
red after black no red deeper than
the motive for movement one scream
through empty rooms through black
wandering to music played backwards
seething writhing sea through it
through black to red through black
the motive for movement one scream
from one room to another movement
into another from one black room
red after black into this red room
red after black no red deeper than.

Been moving me really only one has
moving me only one within itself
moving me one scream within itself
move me away screams within the one
wedding rooms away from the weddings
this black room from those to this
this black room I’m wandering in this
wandering means moving in this room
moving without meaning’s wandering
in this black room no end to moving
a writhing sea like moving in a sea
in a writhing sea I am wandering
in this room seething and writhing.
In this room seething and writhing
in a writhing sea I am wandering
a writhing sea like moving in a sea
in this black room no end to moving
moving without meaning’s wandering
wandering means moving in this room
this black room I’m wandering in this
this black room from those to this
wedding rooms away from the weddings
move me away screams within the one
moving me one scream within itself
moving me only one within itself
been moving me really only one has.
No red goes deeper than this red after black
movement into this red room red after black
movement in a writhing sea in black rooms
movement in one black room in one in another
one scream the motive for wandering movement
the one child is the poet the child of pain
scream from one child given only one picture
one picture of blood this room full of blood
scream from one child who’s given one picture
one scream the motive for wandering movement
no red goes deeper than this red after black
movement into this red room red after black
movement in a writhing sea in black rooms
movement in one black room in one in another
one scream the motive for wandering movement.
It’s time to move time for some passion in this language
to make a move ma-mah-moo-euve-veh it’s time to move
move out of this purple light move out of deep red light
the second movement is the movement of rosy transparency
move as gathering did you think we would move together
come let’s waltz time did you think it’d be let’s waltz
that ma-mah-moo-euve-veh time it’s time to make a move
make the move by yourself move out of this purple light
by yourself alone second movement of rosy transparency
as wedding guests did you think we’d move as a gathering
like wedding guests did you think it’d be let’s waltz time
time to move alone time for some passion in this language
move alone move away it’s time to ma-mah-moo-euve-veh
away from deep red from this purple light away by yourself
alone and away from the weddings movement of transparency
hand in hand did you think we’d move as wedding guests
hand in hand with bride and groom did you think we’d waltz
no other move time it’s that ma-mah-moo-euve-veh time
alone and away from warm welcome always time for that time
away from warm welcome of bride and groom transparency move
black their hands did you think bride and groom wouldn’t
as blackened to us did you think their hands wouldn’t be
time to move into black black rooms time for some passion.
Time to move into black black rooms time for some passion
as blackened to us did you think their hands wouldn’t be
blacken their hands did you think bride and groom wouldn’t
away from warm welcome of bride and groom transparency move
alone and away from warm welcome always time for that time
no other move time it’s that ma-mah-moo-euve-veh time
hand in hand with bride and groom did you think we’d waltz
hand in hand did you think we’d move as wedding guests
alone and away from the weddings movement of transparency
away from deep red from this purple light away by yourself
move alone move away it’s time to ma-mah-moo-euve-veh
time to move alone time for some passion in this language
like wedding guests did you think it’d be let’s waltz time
as wedding guests did you think we’d move as a gathering

make the move by yourself move out of this purple light

move out of this purple light move out of deep red light
to make a move ma-mah-moo-euve-veh it’s time to move
it’s time to move time for some passion in this language.
