One
CATCHING UP
and would you could express it
with stone and bitumen
a hedge of hide and chatter
for the anonymous flip, of a coin.
and fawn,
to sing, of time and of distinctions
of cause and of case
and not to measure, the merits
in very idiosyncrasy
asserted, in room of learning and sufficiency.
the swift and stubborn and medley appointment.
the predilection, quietly, transparency
must be pronounced transparency
must be pronounced insistence
and handed on.
or did not think in terms of Sinai.
a detail of anatomy, say.
a knot in a rope.
and to be shamefully naked.
this comes in the form of an emergency.
this comes in the form of a middle voice.
this comes in the form of a pretty bride.
and this is the poetry
of having known the light of common day.
deeply. and necessarily.
readily. and necessarily.
