The scope of the car's not too large

For leaves,

At new variance

Parted from the branch

And life's beck;

Realigned in chance grace--

Nor emblemed,

Nor diminished, unobserved.

Uncertain's the marrow to prisons of sense
Of nature that snuffs and fans
Its sentient desires to itself un-nature,
And the unfixed prinicple fix,
And taste the pith of the largest in the smallest thing.

Sublime is ordinary,

Edged with comparisons,

As grain in star

To sharp beholding--

Pluck a quality askant

From dull expectation,

By relative, revelation.

Penumbra's sky remembers me

In colors as the hour--

To ocean's yesterday

My natal stroke still tumbles

Salute to shaded eye--

Shadows recall their angle

To my breathing step--

And breath creating world

Depending from my thread,

Til hazard's knife tell umbra.

Immaculate structure

Is the flower through stricture expressed

As air petal-shaping,

As suns curved and coursed in embering space,

As presence by absence molded--

Illusions of distinction

In fold and folded.

Rogue disquisitions
Faster than light
As sermons at c's shrine
Cast lures made
Of what is sought;
Bishops and bankers
In the precincts of the senses.

Indifferent eye
Aspergered oval
Saw mirrors as clear glass
And windows of air reflections
Categorical in a frame.
Oculus apraxic
By custom stunned, custom-made
To suit an angular light--
But when done is future
Let vision name blindness sight.
