"My first job was cutting sunsets
Which then became sunrises"

Don Siegel

this kindly crab
hung with his roseate
necklace of chamberpots
squats in the smoke

red-shirt London
a banner to his Om-mmm

washed extremities
to earth; chanting

the bearded shadow
falls over backwards

in straining
to stay straight

Primrose Hill, July 1967

There are no notes in this book but the link to Ginsberg's Primrose Hill poem, Guru, written two years earlier, seems obvious.
