Blessed and the Weather

Distance the rain following

In spite of distance following

In spite of discomfort following

Blessed and the rain growing

Blessed and never-again or when

And where and here and in visions

I came I saw I saw yet again

I fell if I fell if I fell if I fell if I fell

The places in the clouds where the

Sky falls upward and the trees slant

Before and beyond and between and

Who knows what the sky will say now

That time is silent and the earth is cold

That hope falls ever-distant and the leaves

Have yet to unfold—the hand that holds

And the mouth that speaks, talks in time

The sentences of desire walking the line

The wire the fire the despite the frame of

The design
