Raise<br />

What of the past? How it sticks,<br />

how a guru, how it betrays. Remember<br />

everything, but lightly. Feel its flutter.<br />

Know its pierce. Morning come, now breathe,<br />

relax. Beck the new hour with all you will.<br />

Fury<br />

Among lorn faces want <strong>for</strong> balance,<br />

its high & lower strums, sun’s assured<br />

arc into dream’s pushing ripples. Grit<br />

of memory in every seam, faster swim<br />

strangely follows lesser, & on, now all<br />

rests in a mold of memory. Fury, waver.<br />

******<br />

History<br />

Fragrance of want in a night<br />

wracked & blue, what hardly smolders<br />

secret, flesh’s godly cry <strong>for</strong> taking,<br />

what blows countless by raw second & century.<br />
