Stack
Edwin Frank
January 2006
I make a stack, smack
in the middle of things, or off
a little to the side
(the thing is, it
doesn’t matter where it goes).
I heap up bricks.
I build a house.
I pile up branches.
I light a fire.
I make a bundle. Of money? No, of sticks
gathered in
coming and going
about the fields in the bright
morning light after
the night’s storm.
I make a bundle. Of money? No, of sticks

This chapbook was designed by Linda Trimbath and Matvei Yankelevich and printed at the Ugly Duckling Presse Workshop in an edition of 300, of which 50 were signed and numbered by the author.
