POINTS ON THE GRID

George Bowering

ABORT


Out of the slippery squash of love,
fear to arise
..........................and impel a tired
..........................lunge into death——
this the most awful aftermath
of the machine age rod of dynamism
..........................gun in the resisting ribs
and hours of teeth on the torn
..........................end of fingers

all these
...................all this
...................................the sin of a killing
law of life.
