aspiration


weeping
this night
knot nothing
time cannot undo
but the weeping
beneath azure sky
ablaze with fate
fastened to fortune
in passion open
fingering feather-stone
already frozen to bone
vibrating with greed
bleeding seed
in darkness sown
before the before
not yet after
becoming laughter
this night
weeping
