INTRODUCTION

Sara McClintock and Jeffrey Grossman

Eyes to eyes these voices speak liberation going to come home to being Rootless to wander way from US with an insistence upon Armour ie Ka
A mer a sea ah ca
Empowering corn to move US into this space of no time revelation of love.
Satisfied by the muse of happy poesy this song singing what it is to be
Home in time to catch the sun setting Spring's life signs delivering
Its first cry of winter priests' return from interior travels
Sustained by no image of itself reflected in avenues of crinkled cloth
Where the fluttering and the glide of gulls to jazz horn ecstasies of self
Make day see double in single minded peyote songs that've heard the last
Apple seed's crystal silence see the last invisible form like a fugitive
Barrell gone mad roll down stone steps to bite open the dawn with teeth o'light
The next seat's waltz the perfect hamburger la brula flower of revolution the poem
With its kaddishes and the people in our lives ah this mystic life the wind
Articulated within US against US this breeze within light dancing on
Wood rock floors of rough split splinters spintering sign posts speaking
Thru sea bird street people participating in no strange mystery 'bout the
Lives we lead the fur the tri-cycles under field o high magic's salt notable
In that it seems a formal possibility meeting in this book shaking loose
In cover opening to warm springs and the heart's cool blue solitary feast
In which all past hours reason no end to this era staging faces in print
Merging into new wave ripplings of love winded to wound hostility 'til even
Children as ecstasy where but those moments happening heat 'n sweating myth
Briefing this world in fire explode pre source o darklight Beatific
