13 Ways of Looking at Daniel

is not the soul of a Jew.

A chicken is an edible thing.
Daniel is an unbroken thing.

because he might eat them
but I would let Daniel.

is a hole in my heart.

The bristle of his beard
would filter coffee well.


6.

The tattoo that he doesn't have
on his forehead
reads: "ARETE."



7.

Fuck you!
I wouldn't
let you
see Daniel
not even
with your not-even
eyes,
asshole!



8.

For you,
I have the gift
of not-too-much-affection.

In a cafe
we hear rain
drops of Daniel
falling.

There are no different girls,
only one girl
with two thousand faces.



11.

The eye twinkles
because light
shines on it.

This comic book -
has breasts in it,
Daniel.




13.

The soul of a Jew
burns in my eye
like a blue candle
made of whale blubber.
