The Day Little Fingers Drew


This remnant of form the fallen cenotaph
To our meeting it is meet to scrutinize
The smallest reasons in the absence of God
View even the most insignificant beginnings
As somehow beyond themselves all the earth
Shuddering at the furthermost edge of what
As if this or that holds back unforeseen disaster
A scarred idea hidden in the sky’s aching elbow
The white mouth of night no longer constrained
No longer frozen in forms more or less fulfilled
Nothing satisfies that hole nothing quenches
That absence of color that absolute thirst
Beyond us there is no noise no one breathes
In this our land drawn away from the heart
