Now and again
we pass the lesson of
What are you?
The dark mistiness
of knowledge at my disposal,
the remains of lying snow
a promise to sleep--
the dustiness of empty
a blessing.
What will tomorrow suffer?
An impulse of peril,
place, and occasion.
I am unclean rage, a shadow
over untellable pathos
at every pause.
To be true
in a broken,
frightened sort of way,
mysterious and hysterical:
mix it all up
in a stream of the present
before you quit.
