Elizabeth Willis
The Relation of the Lion to the Book is the Number 5
Begin at the beginning
There was a spoiled woman
Hold her there
Go back to the woman
Hold her there a while
Go back to the pillar of salt now
*
Your message is also the face of your message
violated and arranged
respired and arranged there
The belief in a body
Shape of a blue vial
Outside the pigeon a green still exists
*
The pattern is according to a thought I imagine you to have
Gate is the last thing
A mark's maiming
Her at a time when the body is gone
*
At the beginning was a whir
The island came later in thought
The number five was there
in the beginning, a kind of velocity
Eros slip was the letter B before beginning
hence fallen through
silent A of its aureole
