R

 


[R]

 

Last week I dreamt aisles shadowed in volumes

a sortie of bees deluged me to the floor finite

an oaken door led into vast Raged night

great Rings of light in skies geometric allumes

fading sideways replaced by Renaissance

constellations crosshatch forms Scorpio Aries

the end of all things, in a word Redundancy

the all-known lost (again) prospect of absence.

 

I dream tonight of a boy in Rising fields

learning the unfamiliar names of colours

his book of wonderful the first Read of its kind

how language yields, appeals, offers up shields

he walks a Real metropolis of others’ private valour

free only in the first instants of ties that bind.
