(no subject)
I’ve pulled in
All that I can take-
It’s a heavy wash with
An edge that continues to spread-
Widening without form,
Hands gravitating with
A mechanical need
To feel the solidity
Of every dip in the imagination,
Or the slow-burning joy
Of a desired orphic badge.
I’ve searched for rewards
In the humblest of crafts,
Eyes endlessly down,
With a steady susurration,
“Find what you love
And know the reason why.”
But I came to love it all,
And could dare not
To explain.
Arms crossed against the
Collegiate exchange-
One in one
The discussion unfolds
To unclothe each
Soft, wasted ape of
The invincible first design.
It is necessary-I know-
To play pretend
With those of the
Lofty, boldly assuming brow,
And still I cannot state before all
My wrecked assumptions.
They watch for recognition-
Fingers closing over the
Edge of the anchor-
All of us eyeless
And painfully unaware as
The Great drifts lightly by.
