A Growing Knowledge of Death (v. 01)

I love the night already

what else can I call it?

walking unknowing

toward our shared destination

sure in each step through nothing

intuitive body memory

pale intuition

the murk of dreams

other wandering visions

the waves in near-darkness

cool blue of distant light

above and all around us

this aspect we turn from

metaphors hanging

incomplete on our lips

fingers, hands reaching

already within us

the resonant keyhole

radio wave broadcast

the eye of our needle


In moments of recognition

mistakes often happen

Some jump toward it

as from a trapeze

make unfamiliar motions

terror twirling their eyes


others mistake it for familiar places

given like sea glass

a paper boat made of memories

no naming it with the words we know


invisible library,

allow me your secrets

seal gaps in my knowledge

with stuff your dark eyes hold
