Ever on the edge:
On the verge of innocence
When shadows uncalled for
In perspective lie unfelt;
Til reflection on a border
Bends it,
Measurement veer the line,
And what's between is mine.

Punctilious this fear
That knocks at its hour
With a spectral writ;
Quick proceeder!
Of myself
Author and deliverer.

Each moment with its fellow joint
Makes a present curiously wrapt
With every yesterday;
Till the enclosing ribbon
Has weightless run its way.

Pervious to sparrows,
Who leave seeds in my pockets:
To unpointed minutia,
That knots into myself;
Memory, that tends what I see,
Too the just past, that suits my brevity.

At the intersection of memory
And its making partners
Of the moon and circumstance
Stands solitude's totem,
To which the sun itself is correspondent,
Though it be but a sand of recollection,
A dim vespers to a festival
Of the figured I.

I live by the way
When not looking but
At the cat's green eye,
The heavy snow and wall of sky,
And maybe Bruegel's hunters trudging by
On the way to eternity
Borne with a patient eye
As weightless as the snow and sky.
