For instances ("As for we who 'love to be astonished'")



i

In a two as yours, from
ever those rose — ever

the pairing upons. Two
openings out — a flicker from

the eyes have caused
and sky surprised. All there

those visible words become
as wounds be ever in, only

for as fair as fire.




ii

It was poured. It was
the sacred in was. It

was lost, though,
for found again. Hope —

love loose and lovely,
let for language long

ago. Langour sames
no lips. Fitter

with becauses, of
coursed and swollen.

The winds came, and
the me they affect. I know

for a clock, I next the pull
around you, sure

as torpedoes.






[Yet another in the "For instances" sequence, this one stemming from a line that recurs throughout Lyn Hejinian's My Life.]
