Out
of mystical culminations the tremblings of
the bleeding edge where heart meets brain foldings
in transformations more inevitable and preponderate
than the unflat universe giving back as we
go forward, where quivering brave heart reaches and
is met, and more than met, by quixotic brain
razored or bludgeoning in quiddities exponential.
You
cannot plan that, I discovered.
You
cannot expect the expectations of chaos
despite the rare nonlinear beauty of fractals you
cannot imagine you
can.
The
meadow might have been the
lingering smoke from innumerable nectarous visions or the
lingering impression within the closed eye of the wise recluse.
There are no others, it goes without saying
but to say it, you see,
is a kind of victory.
It
is the kind I have come to.
After
the meadow.
What
was it?
What
was it?
Was
it all that was left or all that was to come
or all that was transported from
other budding foam of sea or space or stalk?
