Statistic Gap
August 18, 2005
how could I have forgotten this
the quiet comfort of walking stripped
fragments like feathers of soft glass punching in
filament so fine the punctures are delicate fur
kitten skin and haloed vision, iris vertical slit
one foot before the next, and next the one before
ripped, world-walls striated, unwoven
frond ��s caress a spore before the windlass
akin to fog, one frog ��s skein underfoot
weft, weft, weft, and warp astray
screaming into tessellated core, one from many
from many, none �� scream gone silent
gone to purr, gone to flux, gone to penetrations �� deuce
advantage naught, no blacker, blanker �� only aught
and how could I have forgotten this
fathoms out of definition, cutting so very, very soft
one foot before the last, aloft, never touching down
hummingbird ��s metal vessel in cornflower rows
blades of pollen, blood-hunger throes
and ever hunger, unforgotten
how could I have so forgotten
this, before all else, this stanchion of the mind
crisp wings pinned deep in ebon falls
a sound like screaming, breathing out
purr gone to heartbeat, gone to quiet
riot micro-fine out-broken
and here do I at last recall
the growthsome scent of insect gall gone rancid
gone at last to dust, each component shifting
poking holes between the worlds, flag furled
here now, here then, here, forever measured
taken in �� and undertow I do remember
how entropy felt like glory ��s touch
how killing never mattered much
how my own dearth was average musth
into the breach between the worlds
reach out and touch �� so easy
without motivation
just recant and bottle up
wire the butterfly back to deuce
embarrass the savage gap, siphon off the black
and drink it down
there is you, there is me, there is entropy �� between us, nothing
