The Text Featured on This Broadside

THRUMS, from IOVIS, Book III                                             Anne Waldman

yea
I am salt  yea
I am as though dancing

no turn of rod or tooth
no churn shank bottles this broad voice
crank her up to soprano-century

yea I am Asian tear duct
blown out Ethiopian brains
walking bomb for Allah’s blue heaven
all the mothers of the disappeared

yea, I am the blade life—its sheen
to be wild in the annexed shimmer-world

yea I am rice & oil & sugar & guns
I am yr throat & will wean you, poem-saint,
from despair
