Time as it Goes – strikes

The Variorum – Edition of Nothingness –
Requires no Editors –
’Pon the Line of things – or Destinations –
Eye merely – Ministers –

The Perceptual Tree – leafless recedes –
Beneath all Fronds perceived –
Singleton of Not – an Arboretum
Or Abstracting – deceived –

Standing copious – There – Here – Tree each many –
Each its Occasion –
With each a plural I – the host – of Tree –
Each – One Eye’s Horizon –

The Need once – once Off I needed –
For there was Friend’s shoulder –
And did make glowering Vesuvius –
Less Lava – than Lover –

* * * * *

And so I cup You in my hand –
A sorry Bird indeed –
Falling from undescried Above –
So as Rose – to reseed –

* * * * *

“You”! I called up once – to Lover –
And Him since – I behold –
“Be”! I invited My Lover –
Bees bloomed – and Flowers afield –

“Now”! – I exclaimed – to the Beloved –
For now was – The Moment –
“Here”!, I added – for Deserved more –
But Act nor – Word – Couldn’t –

It winnowed – Possibilities –
And then was just – the Wind –
Slamming the – Door – as I opened –
Left – nor Wheat, Fruit, nor Chaff – Nor rind –
