Forgetting a Dream dedication (to...
Forget the dream
Forget the poetry received in a dream
Forget New York, forget language
Forget you love violent electric storms
Forget the slit open, opened
Forget a closed cloud, bread and lips
Forget David Shapiro
Forget yourself Buy and sell yourself
Forget the great globe itself
Forget the angels in Silesia*
Forget provisions for the trip
Forget that face
Forget eight arms for power
Forget peace Forget restless form
Forget whether it was an actor or a butcher
or a traitor at night
Forget whether it was interpretation or
Amelioration
Forget, forget!
