15 august feast of the assumption

 

i'm thinking maybe rain

        drop/drop    and taking

every broad & narrow waist 

        and/or cinch/pinch its way

from the tip of the beginning 

            of its too full swell 

top/to/bottom fall. this: 

                    cowbirds are born

    to fell their foster sisters

(any gender, truth of it) and settles

                on his bonnet or he's not

able to make enough wind 

            to pick/up and get going

over the ocean and so it's only

                    what the poet said

after all: the air you breathe was once

                water

                        in

                            clouds

                                over

                                    Africa

and i'm saying they are, drops/

            hollow eyes

                    reflecting the way

    a petrified branch

            has been polished/glossed

                thumb-dug (can't)

                    rubbed (can)

cloth crumb dumb

                the way the shut up

                        mute

                                are dumb

            or something other:

the buck on the run who can jump 

            and summon the hedges the

 p a n o r a m i c s    

to curl end2end        and then

                            zoetrope

                    their own 

way, going/    while/    staying

                                                    put,

through light through all it has ever caught

                    one drop
