A Spiral Tendency

All elements pour through our system, blood, 

Fire’s flame immersed in the body, an 

Invitation from what belongs to us.  

Beauty is the moment of transition, 

Form ready to flow.  Only what streams with 

Life reveals the forever concealed.  My 

Boots and chair meteors, constellations.  

Now one color, one form, another now 

A pungency, a more interior 

Ray disclosing deep holdings, plants wings at 

Our shoulders, lifts away mountains, deigns to 

Draw truer lines, a spiral tendency.
