words only definitions & notes
  1. flywheel
    regulator consisting of a heavy wheel that stores kinetic energy and smooths the operation of a reciprocating engine
    When the thing stops,
    Is stopped, with the last slow cough
    In the manifold, the flywheel blundering
    Against compression, stopping, finally
    Stopped, compression leaking
    From the idle cylinders will one imagine
    Then because he can imagine
    That squeezed from the cooling steel
    There hovers in that moment, wraith-like and like a plume of steam, an aftermath,
    A still and quiet angel of knowledge and of comprehension.

    Likely as not a ruined head gasket
    Spitting at every power stroke, if not a crank shaft
    Bearing knocking at the roots of the thing like a pile-driver:
    A machine involved with itself, a concentrated
    Hot lump of a machine
    Geared in the loose mechanics of the world with the valves jumping
    And the heavy frenzy of the pistons.
  3. compression
    the act of applying force
    When the thing stops,
    Is stopped, with the last slow cough
    In the manifold, the flywheel blundering
    Against compression, stopping, finally
    Stopped, compression leaking
    From the idle cylinders will one imagine
    Then because he can imagine
    That squeezed from the cooling steel
    There hovers in that moment, wraith-like and like a plume of steam, an aftermath,
    A still and quiet angel of knowledge and of comprehension.

    POEM

    Likely as not a ruined head gasket
    Spitting at every power stroke, if not a crank shaft
    Bearing knocking at the roots of the thing like a pile-driver:
    A machine involved with itself, a concentrated
    Hot lump of a machine
    Geared in the loose mechanics of the world with the valves jumping
    And the heavy frenzy of the pistons.
  5. conduit
    a passage through which water or electric wires can pass
    Crossed by the streets of stores
    And every crevice of the city leaking
    Rubble: concrete, conduit, pipe, a crumbling
    Rubble of our roots


    But they will find
    In flood, storm, ultimate mishap:
    Earth, water, the tremendous
    Surface, the heart thundering
    Absolute desire.
  6. spitting
    the act of spitting (forcefully expelling saliva)
    POEM

  7. hallway
    an interior passage or corridor onto which rooms open
    And with its two eyes
    There as much as anything
    Can watch a ship and all its hallways
    And all companions sink.



    5


    Also he has set the world
    In their hearts.
  8. lump
    a compact mass

  9. wing
    a movable organ for flying (one of a pair)
    As tho all travels


    Ended untold, all embarkations
    Foundered.



    4


    On that water
    Grey with morning
    The gull will fold its wings
    And sit.
