A little signed piece.
So you'll hear one of these every so often.
And then you'll know it's still me.
The book called TETH came out from Chax Press a little bit
ago.
And I'll sample from this as well.
You see Chax Press's publisher, Charles Alexander,
not too far from where I am.
And I'm glad to have Charles with us.
"Learn the womb can't love enough.
Select a new ill-fitting section of the planet to reside in.
Claim your heart, frost-legged, ready
to be tried, searing the disappointment of failed
bakery, consistently on empty.
Holy thistle on the law most sanctified.
Long-hand bouquet, mesmeric charity
with glitter still residing in the comb, whose bristles score
some touchdown like variable plantation mummies
held responsible for apprenticed crops.
Depressive until certain hunger, she, ventriloquist, amazingly
appoints herself guru of failed light, supposing."
You might want to know that this gathering has 81 words
on every page of 81 pages.
And thus, the name TETH which is the ninth letter of the Hebrew
alphabet--
and you can tell from my name that that's a long tradition
with the Murphys.

So we can borrow.
We can borrow.
