Tell me more of the unending radiance

your eyes discovered when pressed

 

against the hole into a honeycomb.

Say turquoise. Say my uncut hair

 

coiling around your eyes. Say berry.

Say your finger circled hard around

 

my toe. Tell me more of the unending

radiance erupting when eyes pressed

 

against honeyed wombs.  Say my name.

You don’t know my name?  Make it

 

up. Then say my name.  Tell me more

of the unending radiance of honeyed eyes.

Mark Cunningham – Dented Breeze out on Lulu

Mark Cunningham’s new book Dented Breeze is now on sale at Lulu.com

Highly recommended. He published this under his own name and as he has said:

“Donald Sutherland, who wrote on both the English Romantics and Gertrude Stein, said that one of the traits of Romanticism was its attempt to include as much of the world and experience (if those can be distinguished) as possible–an attempt that would become never-ending task as experience would constantly increase, or at least change. Dented Breeze is my attempt to help out. Each piece here adds a bit of information about one piece of information in the sentence of the original poem it glosses. Unfortunately, Donald Sutherland the actor does not appear as a guest star.
This doesn’t cover every aspect of the book of course–particularly the reduction of romantic wonder, political agitation, despair, whatever, to what are basically banal sentences found on Wikipedia, the opposite of all of the above.
