OF A MADRIGAL AND LACE
Madrigal and lace - a gloved suggestion for your heart
to be reached for by others. Lights of the great world
around us. Inspired by the Heavens, all the arts are
at your feet, and I thereby beseech you for your
Winter ice and Summer heat, all those things
which make us vanquished. In the inner harbor
of the greater mind where we all unknowingly
live, there are things amassed we feel but never
recognize : a heartfelt face, a wiry heart, the
pound and pace of all Life brings us.
-
The grab-bag stories of Gods and grace, we
memorize the lines and speak them, in haste,
only then pretending to understand. In front
of us, some mental marshall with a cloak and
scabbard pretends to force us to want to go
on living. That ship has left for outer seas.
We are standing by the seaside posts,
awaiting the salvage ship of Time itself
to bring us rescue, rescue and
solace, and rest.
