The Three Graces
One poem
comes along
and puts them
onto a new thing
they summon
by the magnets
of its
construction
continuity
of outline
holding the three
into one
and once theyβre
embarked
all the ropes
start pulling

Sonnet
Her loveβs omnivorous. An owlβs wingβs
feather isnβt quiet nor eider duck
down soft enough not to trip her bloomβs chuck
shut completely on the King of Things.
But the barb, what reciprocity! springs
foremost among the very parts that suck
her trapβs confection. Kiss by kissing fuck
unhalters all her meat, and carnage brings
them to a frenzy. Lymph, blood, scum, cream
spill, and though we shield our eyes, still must he
eviscerate himself in husbandry.
His mandibles are knitting on her seam;
his thorax curls and pulsates, wrenching free
no member, but his entrail; exit the bee.
(the opening sonnet was written in 1958, when Malmudeβs guiding star was Robert Lowell) ...

Moonlighting
I have another drunk in
me but not another comeback.
I want the sighs from
the top layer but I
am a lifeguard in addition
to working nights on this
waterfront carrying boxes of fruit.
A commission would enable me
reproductive life in them. But
you must call the Yukon.
The oldest war babies still
have eleven years of reproductive
life. The Gulf of Mexico
is the diaper of the
continent and the Great Lakes
are full of pigtail fluid.

Blue Tree
I stood
like a blue tree
early in the morning.
The stores were locked about me,
the ghosts of women
tugging at my sleeve;
a smile showed in the foliage
which Joe says he wonβt shave.
And street lights
were switching off themselves,
the few stars
doing slow dissolves;
ghosts of women
at doors of post offices
were asking me,
slit for letters, this?
With substantial selections from his books β all but ten of Malmudeβs previously published poems are included here β β¦

Stove & Lamp
I stoke
or damp
still, the smoke
seeks out the lamp
climbs in the shade.
My tongue
touches the blade
of song.
I could cry.
My crowned
eye
gently comes round
an ash
lands on the sofa
I watch
the coffee.

Habitat
I see
Community
with its roofs
removed
I hear
its voice
from everywhere
in the house
but it engages
me less
than Joey Bag

contractor
who is all
up in there
