The Passage Beyond Limitation
The pillar upon which instinct becomes vision.
Sung by nightingales cradled in daylight
It dreads neither consequence nor precedence
For it belongs to eternity.
*
Reverberating and plangent, masking no longer
A solar plexus in protest at one’s limitations
The fracture through which freedom becomes perceptible.
Away from the perverse shadows of cynicism,
It doubts no more, a drought of discontent.
*
Upheaval to communicate what’s most dear
As it rises from turbulence.
What’s most consoling in its inner lament?
Apollo opens Dionysius into the abyss of infinity;
Bells ceased without a tower to cling to.
*
Let me rest on nothing but your caressing whisper,
Mused and detached
Returning and departing at once
Carry this song into our universe.
