I’m in a little eddy.
& It’s all I can do to muster these few acute
yet somehow encompassing Notions of
the patterned, creaturely convulsions of life
Of the greater and lesser compressions I could scale my life in to;
I have been
For some time now
Reckoning?
(beginning again to know)
starting again
to try to find the (often huge ) souls of words
without bashing them senseless
(thudding stripes of ink against
a hollow drum)/( my extravagant
way with words);;
I’m not
going to deny feeling
the slow cry of life
Correctly
I’m not going to miss a chance to harbor
that laborious hunger for
beauty- that fat stupid word -
which we’ve all become
so fond of Speaking
but beyond tongues
This
is a finer, further sound
A faintly hertzing heart
A needle on a seam
