PROSE & PROSCENIUM


Kissed blackest, white awaits all on a bleak block.

One is too many in ideal order.
Seeming ardor, the most of missed.

No
Guard to regard, no netted night.

For all
              falls, fails, fools, feels—

As this space of spots
              stops time over
Breath’s vibrato.

Red verses read, no re-
              verses no, being bang.

Between acts: the shadows
Stay alive, twist into the shapes of letters.

              It is said
They look like actors, reciting lines.
              But to be what water, & what home to whom?

THE ANSWER IS NO


Possessive of
              what
              whispering space—

No thought is thought: a ware aware
Of the value of air.

After yes, Law’s
Walls
falls, reason risen too heavy to heaven.

Here & here, the sore series rests—

              as thought without

              thing wears the ring.
