(East)
That Life conceived
In Darkness born
The Light that lights my eye is Wisdom's Child
...
The brown strength of roots
and the decadence of ripeness
fall full against the golden arms
that strain to hold the southing sun
...
Have you seen the
Star of wonder
Star of grace
Star by which
...
This clod of earth that I call mine
is only dust and dirt,
Until your overflowing water
spills the green upon the brown.
...
Human Wisdom,
freed from dinosauric strength
and lunic light,
has sprouted wings
...
The spirit is breathing
eternal internal
until the Word eternal
external matters
...
Yellow-eyed and awkward walking,
Head a-bob, the air shaped blackbird,
glossy in the morning glimmer,
timid, tastes the lake-shore rim.
