The reading we must do. Of the
certain things and important too,
the listening, for the tongue
paths with the architect separate
from the buds, intellect, a different
taste, sporadic with spatial identity
though purpose toward the momentous.
Canopied below, safe, below
á la mode occurrences, music swirls within
condensed forms, rain, the child running, birds
pecking rhythmically atop alphabetic
cracked concrete. This reading of listening,
full references to created semantics,
the ignored symbols of multiple, beautified
reality.
The simple math of two
conversing children
enveloped by day's other numerical
equation of
hours plus minutes,
is the realization that circular
diagrams are the existence
of defying death, the face of the clock
whose emotional content
never fades from smile
into
foreign melancholy.
Through the possible significance of
abstraction, line for painter, the verbal
wand waved says the poet acclimates
to post contemporary, the hidden
meanings. Wind also
wraps its many or multi
limbed features around and
through society, —gale, too and
necessary tissue soft embraces.
Dichotomies must exist, should call
themselves the language of truism:
value toward translucent bodies
walking toward beings of tangible
dexterity.
