Hi. I like this poem a lot.  One line reminded me of the sculptures of Louise 
Nevelson, currently on view at the Jewish Museum in New York City.  Some of her 
"dreams of carved wood" are truly unique and always interesting.  I was 
wondering if you'd ever heard of her, Mr. Oha.  Regards, Tom Savage

  Wild body,
  Soot & mud & smells
  A stain stays the road
   
  Wild body 
  Wild speech
  And untiring chase
   
  Unam ikot!
  the howling fear the toothed conquest
  always
  eats this foliage text
   
  He the 'he'
  walks tall
  into a dream of carved wood
   
  The mime the mystery around
  market & marked shrinehouse
  long after
  the tiny bell has found the distance
