standing in the lane at the bottom of the translucent sea
standing on the lane with dry grass next to the track
standing
far, away, under the moon,
around the moon is light as if on a surface the height of air
oh the crystal air
amneon
is the star heat
is the star the baby
'it's in my body, i feel myself dying,
i have to struggle to be alive'
'i talk to myself. i find a way to where there isn't fear'
when i see metaphor can i see the
necessity of metaphor
can i see what metaphor is
the body in water, which reads the tremors' shapes
sources by straight lines
then, as if, situated in there,
i shd be able to feel my way out into any knowledge -
i mean thru the perspective
-
something -
it's like a flip -
i can't see it -
it's a passing or peripheral shape, it's a logic shape,
from any two points, establish
-
then having seen in, what?
beyond the computation is again having been born,
& in a world, and so
if i just keep situating myself in the moment of having been born
is metaphor always -
is the nature of metaphor -
wondering what is the metaphoring mind that it can say without knowing
it goes into an image without noticing the shift
i am finding what it is from here, but not yet,
what anything is, from it
that's my doubt
i've read the code but i'm not more alert
what's the relation of this coming through to the new attention
the slide of luke newborn, that i'd never seen the pain of
now i wanted to just pick him up and hold him
