Empty mirror: gates of wrath (1947-1952): In society

The bricklayer's lunch hour

Two sonnets

On reading Blake's "The sick rose"

The eye altering alters all

A very dove

Vision 1948

Do we understand each other?

The voice of rock

Refrain

A western ballad

The trembling of the veil

A meaningless institution

A mad gleam

Complaint of the skeleton to time

Psalm I

An eastern ballad

Sweet Levinsky

Psalm II

Fie my fum

Pull my daisy

The shrouded stranger

Stanzas: Written at night in Radio City

After all, what else is there to say?

Sometime jailhouse blue

Please open the window and let me in

"Tonite all is well"

Fyodor

Epigram on a painting of Golgotha

"I attempted to concentrate"

Metaphysics

In death, cannot reach what is most near

This is about death

Hymn

Sunset

Ode to the setting sun

Paterson

Bop lyrics

A dream

Long live the spiderweb

The shrouded stanger

An imaginary rose in a book

Crash

The terms in which I think of reality

The night-apple

Cézanne's ports

The blue angel

Two boys went into a dream diner

A desolation

In memoriam: William Cannastra, 1922-1950

How come he got canned at the ribbon factory

Archtype poem

A typical affair

A poem on America

After dead souls

Marijuana notation

Gregory Corso's story

I have increased power

Walking home at night

"I learned a world from each"

"I made love to myself"

A ghost may come

"I feel as if I am at a dead end"

An atypical affair

345 W. 15th St.

A crazy spiritual

Wild orphan.
