after H.D.
here is a field
and here there were people
which means charged space
in a void,
which means charged space
and steeplejacking
of some sort
here is a field
and here there was a field
which means echo sound
of echo feeling
and steeplejacking
of a natural sort
here is a field
and a glass of water
frozen on a stump
somewhere in that field
as a demonstration of method,
of indistinguishable mind,
and the glass waits
only to freeze to the stump,
to give the universe punctuation,
not a bad thing
lastly, here is a field
of vampires, of feeling
frozen on a stump
somewhere in that field
as a demonstration of passion,
a sort of Ark with funny animals
that even children somehow know,
troublesome animals
in the sense they must be loved
or at least amuleted
and that is the beginning of justice.
