Poem
Spring Up, up you go, you must be introduced. You must learn belonging to (no-one) Drenched in the white veil (day) The circle of minutes pushed gleaming onto your finger. Gaps pocking the brightness where you try to see in. Missing: corners, fields, completeness: holes growing in it where the eye looks hardest. Below, his chest, a sacred weightless place and the small weight of your open hand on it. And these legs, look, still yours, after all you've done with them. Explain the six missing seeds. Explain muzzled. Explain tongue breaks thin fire in eyes. Learn what the great garden-(up, up you go)-exteriority, exhales: the green never-the-less the green who-did-you-say-you-are and how it seems to stare all the time, that green, until night blinds it temporarily. What is it searching for all the leaves turning towards you. Breath the emptiest of the freedoms. When will they notice the hole in your head (they won't). When will they feel for the hole in your chest (never). Up, go. Let being-seen drift over you again, sticky kindness. Those wet strangely unstill eyes filling their heads- thinking or sight?- all waiting for the true story- your heart, beating its little song: explain. . . Explain requited Explain indeed the blood of your lives I will require explain the strange weight of meanwhile and there exists another death in regards to which we are not immortal variegated dappled spangled intricately wrought complicated obstruse subtle devious scintillating with change and ambiguity Summer Explain two are Explain not one (in theory) (and in practice) blurry, my love, like a right quotation, wanting so to sink back down, you washing me in soil now, my shoulders dust, my rippling dust, Look I'll scrub the dirt listen. Up here how will I (not) hold you. Where is the dirt packed in again around us between us obliterating difference Must one leave off Explain edges (tongue breaks) (thin fire) (in eyes) And bless. And blame. (Moonless night. Vase in the kitchen) Fall Explain duty to remain to the end. Duty not to run away from the good. The good. (Beauty is not an issue.) A wise man wants? A master. Winter Oh my beloved I speak of the absolute jewels. Dwelling in place for example. In fluted listenings. In panting waters human-skinned to the horizon. Muzzled the deep. Fermenting the surface. Wrecks left at the bottom, yes. Space birdless. Light on it a woman on her knees-her having kneeled everywhere already. God's laughter unquenchable. Back there its river ripped into pieces, length gone, buried in parts, in sand. Believe me I speak now for the sand. Here at the front end, the narrator. At the front end, the meanwhile: God's laughter. Are you still waiting for the true story? (God's laughter) The difference between what is and could be? (God's laughter) In this dance the people do not move. Deferred defied obstructed hungry, organized around a radiant absence. In His dance the people do not move.
