Tusk
right to left me read please
every poem must have a word
like a keystone centered in it
the word is
OR
then there must be a symbol-word
misplaced, out of place,
something unsettling must take place
a hapax legomena like
TUSK
now the bowl is cracked
wabi-sabi
on a white page
some ink has been spilled
even a random accident has great meaning
if it can be read
you see something invisibly big
or something too small to ignore
a coin falls onto the floor
OR
it hangs in the air spinning on and on
never reaching
ambit
a poem is like that
never arriving
always reaching
r m l t r -
it in is truth
