[A poem N years ago] scrubbed

Preface

Scrubbed

Scrubbed with tears
Scrubbed more silent language
Silent wings cry
Quieter than a whistle

Scrubbed and dried
And pedestrians on the road
Carriage-by-carriage
Scrubbed the marks

Resentment
Whatever you choose
Scrubbed the blocked throat
Brilliant Stars

Scrubbed the burned hour
Place a Cylindrical Coordinate
Formula for scrubbed Calculus
Sweating on the forehead

Scrubbed shaved eyebrows
Think of the cause of pain again
Scrubbed the rest of the landscape
Let it ring in the distance

Continue scrubbed action
Scrubbed dozens of lines
Scrubbed a pen
One page of paper, pouring ink
Scrubbed my wet body
