Shall I Carve
Shall I carve images for blind men glee
Come not to this table then
Unless hunger rages in you
And in coming bring some light
From moon or star
For this memory is from lightning made
But is not new, not new at all
I reassembled words
And spring resemblles fall
For I too search for the universal
But not in the unity of theories nor belief
The subject that sits best for me
Is our obdurate and inflexible thief
I seek to tear the thing off
Like a veil of sheaf.
Yes I know this is deep water exhibition
But if you are hungry
If you can locate the insatiable in you
You will not blame for the flood
But from my words rekindle fire.
