FACE What lasts in thinking is not So much the way As its horizon, the plum side Not facing us but richer In contingency a lateral Sheer rock wall From which hiero- Glyps wave what Lasts comes after The red flash The negative Commemoration outside of Syntax, human Recognition turned away From finally itself to pinions, one seed Junipers, scree Blasted like rusty cans The prehistoric wind blinds Us with dust a cactus Spine goes through our shoe But we are bent Upon not that Next |
