AN EVENT

i
above
me

though a beginning
a way through

still we corner direction
with beacons thrown
into night

a goal or a sight

we could wait for an event
with fingers shifting among the goods on a table
but i prefer the multiple act—
the digressive broken word changing in space.

………………………………………………………………………………………….

four parts falling
that was how i came to see it
what’s happened is
the spirits take hold
and then thrust us out into
the brilliance of a day on its end
as though only thought
can remake the system in
clean lines in frequent
violent reverberations of sound
that remind us of battles
of hinges raised for a moment
in the sun.

A SWITCH

the beam flashes and is
gone

dreams crumble with bickering groups gathered

"she stops before babylon and goes invisible"

i gage my strength
against rock
as wind playing
lone sounds

idle but understanding
immensity is overcoming
light drives but allows

"i am years for you just now"
