Giving Im I did not make a place My hand on an object But I walked that number of feet Crossed down to where you can say you have been Hollyness and war Caught hard against your stars Sort eyes harvested Hurry tempted, obscure, no loss, a gain of immigation, couriousity, Anything, anything, I guess as a tune

'Giving Im' mixes place, object, feet walked, Hollyness, war, stars, harvested eyes, obscure temptation, immigation, couriousity, and tune.

It stays fragmentary while still moving forward. Giving in here reads less like defeat than a shift of scale, from place and object into motion, war, migration, and song.

''''Giving Im' variant -- a register of crossing without leaving a mark, holiness-war coupling, and the final shrug 'Anything, anything, I quess as a tune.''''
