When You Found an Uncanny Lostness


Once
You heard mindwings flutter
Down they came
Untangled for a change

Flushed thought
Shook windowbranches

Metaphorstorm

Pricked by the slightest wordspur
Winsome-hoofed shadows
Whinnied and galloped

All whisper-maned and moon-striven
All mute-kissed by the blind mouth

Once you found yourself
Unseen but felt
Eye-stung by the hornet-star

Word-grasping in slivered light
Word-gasping in sickled night
