The Day of the Immeasurable Glance


In the history of all hitherto existing pseudonyms
Yours is the most gloriously luminous O it blinds
The eye’s inner rhyme the retina of rhythm
Dark against an unholy precipice and weightless
I stand waiting for your contagious glance
You offer me a gift of flowers that you stole
Off an unfavorable god a bouquet of monolithic
Filaments and busted angels' wings I think
That's when you toss your fake name in dust
O the parching heat the putrid light the air
Gone thick and hazy and obliterated syllables
You might as well be blonde and amoral O
Offer me your obscure witchcraft so as to touch
Your cool skin against mine altered forever
