Song
Light in the water, I oversee the heat braiding
the water in diamond effect; the heat dances
and is headlight-like, the water is open to the open door
and the searching wind blazes the film up in words.
The floor is broken, I see in this light the evenness
of stars, dear, the light of man, the light of place,
everything in broken harmony. Even the shadows
are starry and central, the heat lights up a point
of halo in the center of my body. I am product
of architecture, I am sold on the heat, an even
being held in place. Even the heat of me is broken
open in the natural magic of seeing — it is a sort
of brokenness that swoons me in wormy patterns of air
around me, the sea dies and gets met in my ear,
in the song that my hands stretch out to hold close.
