Darkness covers the room covers the bell covers the darkness inside the bell Particulars melt Sound assumes primacy Verbs become subversive
In the loss of quotidian minutiae, kiss of sleep, the brain rivers quiet
Vertical assumes primacy
Stairs cellar attic door
In the beginning was the word the word was
climb stumble ascend descend
The closer, the more agonizing the search The muse becomes fugitive fragments
How to winnow the wind Water, ultimate language, slips through fingers
Free from scaffolding of bone, what might be found fluting the inner ear
Darkness covers the the covers Let us ladder down to the river pull out words indentations, accretions pure as stone inside stone
