not care for the Marin watercolors
but just as we were leaving someone
came in the door and the draft
blew a photograph off the
table on the floor and I picked it
up. It was a photograph of a painting
representing a sun back of a
skyscraper and I asked where
the painting was and the next
thing I knew we were looking
ath the most miraculous
paintings ever painted by an
American not even Bellows
excepted – these paintings
by Georgie O’Keefe an Irish woman
from Texas – comparatively unknown
O’Keefe

cool explosions
passionately chaste
orchidaceous tones
cool and white
singular and opposed to plural
fit meat for brave minds because

The word Aphrodisiac
according to the dictionary is a
drug provocative of sexual desire.
But for me it is the name of a yacht
and white as her great white sails
and has nothing whatever to do
with sexual desire.

Always dominate
the word.

There is the automatic
word as for instance with me
the word Sorceress where the
word goes on even while the
attention is focused on entirely
different subjects just as in
swimming my arms and legs
go on automatically even
when my attention is focused
on subjects entirely different
from swimming such as
witchcraft for instance or
the sorceress

The evolution of a word
in the mind requires despotic
power and unlimited elimination.
How would Yes for instance flourish
among words such as dog or corset
or safety-pin or hot-water-bag or eunuch

A word should be not
merely an image but a directive
force which guides the flight of
the soul
