Give Me All This Without"Give me all this without the philosophy,
Without the Germanic words sprinkled in,
Laughable to anyone for whom language
is more than an embarrassment,
more than a shameful brick to build
transcendent castles with."

This My Unearthly Way"Oh,
this my unearthly way across the marsh -
(across the marsh I march) -
where hazy phantoms swirlishly envelop me
just as tendrilbranches choke the bush
(the strangling strands the dying shrub)."
