aroused and all appalled
in sudden agony the soul
as wintering-a perfume closed
(the mind prophetic of some future state)
I feel the mark upon
my absent trouser leg-
the shin placed by the cog
the foot falling just so,
grand as life, small as the next act
cognition-recognition-soiled cloth.
I am forwarded
to you in kind-affection like
a magnet that induces the invisible
yet palpable attraction of its opposite
thus living and thus dead.
I begin thus with myself.
