Jerry Gordon lives in Osaka, Japan, where he once co-edited the eclectic magazine F.  His first book of poetry Language Unfitting has yet to be released in the United States (mostly due to lazy publishers).  Jerry's one-off magazine Blind Dog became the springboard for Temporary Vandalism's own Freedom Isn't Free and The Silt Reader.

Letter from Jerry Gordon to Alan Cohol: 1996.

Axial

Between the yes and no
angels dance
with purified daggers,
and in clean
light strokes
lop my head into my hands.
My hair feels soft
as it becomes matted
in finger-formed creases
by the weight of stuff
that packs my noggin tight
the bone alones a heavy knot
but then with ears, eyes, brain and tongue,
it adds up quick.

But if I sit
very still,
I can keep the blood from running down
balance it,
pooled in the tubes cut flush
with the severed flesh
and can watch
with clean eyes
as a new thinker
juts up
with a pop!

Assurance

There are so many
beautiful names
for you,
and most of them
not in any language.

You exist
only
on the tongue of love.
