“Wreckt, in deep danger, he shook once his head, / returning to meditation. And word had sped / all from the farthest West / that Henry was desired: can he get free / of the hanging menace, & this all, and go?” Berryman
the
most
powerful image absence
realized in stillness
the greek herákleion
and giant glabrum
bearing pinnate hairs
gives
fennel and common hogweed
they produce insects
between june
and serrate referring to
striate forms
a reminder concludes
witnessing
a people serviced in destruction and
recitation
entire
worlds l'shana
haba'ah couched in desire to rebuild
a third time ushers in
this world
lovely
who could
have himselves
conserve children
no god for thanking
volunteers agree to be long
that's
a shield
again why do young return home
or did you
honey the ancient
hospital
to succinctly form
time indicates gore silences the gorge
time gores silence
quiet gorge
