and straight the thought I might have course,
or straight quantities faked remorse,
then straight the entrance without force!

but straight the shot ~ I can't endorse!

is semi laden with export,
go one, with nature's true report,
as life unerring stays the source!...

there, (and nowhere), deep in the meat of stars

          we were brought to be ... essence and divine intent

               spun to matter in a conflagration, consuming

     the eons tended, like tears without a cheek

abiding the contingencies, sublime, to breathe us ...

          miracle of all that is known - LIFE - of stardust!
