Sometimes

Sometimes
There is too much silence
To write

Or too many motes
Frolicking in a grin of light

But at others, the urn 
Of senses overflows

(who knows?  who knows?)

But here the slick street stretches
Like a wet flame
Tasting what will be, has been

But illumines not
beginning or end

only what this pity, sweet pity

of my all little ever has been 	now? 	
transitory
