JOHN KNOLL
3 YOU KNOW Scar on rainbow's breath winkles Above Little Bird Plateau Bomb you make me cry It's time to say Trout Mountain Is a disappearing flower Almost visible A white gardenia In Billie Holiday's hair Kissing the ear with tenderness Spores of night from the sea Black wing epigrams etched in snow Trout Man Monk You know Disappearing distance Impossible musics Kissing the ear with tenderness JOHN KNOLL		4 AFTER DEATH, WITH VICKI JO ON THE FRONT PORCH SWING Isn't that neon dog in the gymnasium window the cousin of a two headed frog you made love to in the falling Asian rain, just after Jimmy was blown away? You made the rain You made the rain You made the fallen Angel rain You made the rain You made the wind I hear bees in the trees when Vicki Jo touches me You made the wind You made the rain You made the falling Asian angel rain You made the rain JOHN KNOLL
