Stone

A grizzle-man, bare, unkempt and blue-ragged
shoe-tied, grinned with rot-teeth, and slowly paced.
Raising hands in his thought-flood to idea-lift,
He gave his voice a name. Undone, the one-man
knee-fell towards me and offered me a stone.

Meditation in Silver

And light, man or water felt
unkind. His slight internment
left us subtly rearranged (For eyes)
and lost. I, you, left fingerprints,
breath on glass and ink. Presuming
all my innocence, your left hand
draws my right and lifts an eye.
Possessor, loving me is no choice; perhaps
here we die and say, together, and in time:
I was once, or I once was.

Hymn

May I keep you
close, O Lord,
since I have
no eyes
to see
a soul.

Might we, sheep, to
lose, O Lord (and)
whence, die knaves.
So sighs
do free
our lowe.

Say (it,) lie, (and) sleep. Fools'
doses, O Lord,
fence night (and) cave,
unwind,
new real(ities)
although

A day seeps (in) to
fuse, O Lord.
Hence, my have(n, you,)
too fined,
decreed
my soul.

Decision

Heaped, untilled,
I halt construction for
elegance. Briefly, untied
(and subsequently content)
I
count
to one.

Six Nine-Derangements

How do I want to
know it and why?

Do I want it to
and why know how?

Know-how, do I want
it to and why?

why do it,
and knowing I want to, how?

to want how, do I know it
and why?

and
Why do I
know how to want it?

Confession

Oh Lord,
how I've run around
reveling, intoxicated
by affection, mulling
over

Hell

I don't want
anybody to go.

Dark Matter

Lengthwise finer thing
and missive (underestimated)
lepton identity unworn
in gestured fields of charge,
these burden spoken days
and lift (so gently) all
our shields of unlit strength.

Massive weakness undefined
(despite elegance) may
not solve each point of
tempted void. Unfettered,
universe-litter underlines
the truth that must be told.
