an*logue
It was everything I called true
And we -like actors who never knew:
"The truth of fiction is
That it's through
The use of fiction
We tell the truth."
But…
That line blurred too much for us;
We thought the stage was all there was
When the floor cracked under weight we tossed
We fell through as the farce was lost
* * *
The numbers inside collide against square rim
And though a book (or album) may close it's hope: to grow, to refigure that beyond it's hem
* * *
Ca me now, tae thy heart
For I can die--but canna part
And we will meet again …
In the Kingdom of ends
Where our kingdoms meet an end
…but the wounds that prune aren't meant to mend
O thy hand is hard to know
For it cuts before it grows.]

"Cut clay pots, kiln glossed, baptized:
Mono-mythical."
