There is a transition from words to pyramids, then columns, then arches, and then helices.  Does "build" proceed parallel to "go"?

The word "go" lead to the waters.  Coming is a double entendre.  It leads to other births.  The reference to fluid lines is ejaculation, geometry, and the speed of light.

Walking around in the aftermath of the storm, and seeing the damage of the broken branches and uprooted trees, I revisit the poem, Go, with a greater conviction to stay.


The "splintered lips" refer to the lips of a vagina.  Since they announce the birth of a word, they are also the lips of a mouth.  The splinters are from the previous lines which described roots (wood) spread like legs.

Gems appear to be moss.  The moss clings to roots.  The roots look like legs.

In 1976 Bantam Books was located at 666 5th Avenue. MOMA was around the corner, a fine place to visit during lunch or tour with a curator. You can feel pine needles on a Cezanne canvas.
