Billy Cancel's The Autobiography of Shrewd Phil

In Billy Cancel's The Autobiography of Shrewd Phil something is going on. There is an edge along which the poet walks with purpose. The narrator states: "I fought a bear i liked/it//i rejoiced/with scissors." The poems are diminutive canvases on which color supplants meaning--"clay works heard dumb/shapes screeching." There is no loci or voice just the tattered remnants of a voice. Someone says "shutters i saw purple light hold/an empty fountain square" and "the northern hemisphere/was covered/in portrait."

He Washed Her Back

He washed her back
He smoothed his hand
Beneath the cloth
With tiny pressure
Softened the rough places
With warm water
To a softness
He would touch her spine
The sense of breath
A repetition
As informal prayer
For darkness
Prayer for light
The sky almost a white
Sweet cloth upon her
Present midnight
