10 Sky Song What higher living than among burs & beams? Just look up! A freak’s hunger for fruit made this world, scattered things cohered into night & tree. Now look down! An unknowing leap brings the best song, faith roar greatest when belief but a tendril. ****** Among Swarming suns over sprinkling plains, what yet hid below in the bent empty house, some other year’s bright, broken plan? What mornings watch brown hills twist with fire, slower hours drawn in lavender dusk, dreams of cities depleted to a raw few merchants of plastic moonlight & crumpled meat? What looks toward where the traces fall, wilderlands remain, rutless beasts bound free? ****** The Cenacle | 59 | October 2006
11 Absolution “Our only guide is our homesickness.” —Herman Hesse, Steppenwolf, 1929. Sing yon blood-glow of moonlit ardor, tonight’s growling dream nearer our restless fecund, & want better of time than its brutal leavings, night’s anxious wane through daylight’s familiar oncome, sudden a flash & one set on by two, common wrong on a crawling street. Sing & we deny trigger’s cry as this world’s farthest truth, dare another way & later come the numbers. More watches us kindly than we know. Such the blind man & his stick’s snuffle down the street, warned by an alley’s breeze. A lost brother nods & remembers. Sing while men divide the wilder lands into a here & there, naming what they do not know, missing the tongue of spark, of waver, of wane. Soil will swallow the great wall & the ode’s reaching hand alike. All soaks empty in moonlight upon its hour, climbs its beam, falls untold within. ****** The Cenacle | 59 | October 2006
