What mother doesn’t say Conform to a contour of sky, allow to cool, pronounce a name, given thus – a fool in paradise. A purposeful fit found by inches, by words. Some might say, doubtful grace. Holding sentiment kin to heart. So slight then the word frayed by ambling hooves as can render sight by [...]

Two thirds
Posted in Poems, tagged 2010, dark, fractional, matter on 20 September 2010 | 1 Comment »
Two thirds Two-thirds of who we are we don’t know. Don’t even know one whole first name, just a fraction bitten in. Red reveals ripe inside. And white. (Same as dark.) Darkly mattered they say, but that’s only like saying “Smith” to the universe. What it means really is, we don’t have a clue. [...]
