<pre style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><i>So I said I am Ezra
and the wind whipped my throat
gaming for the sounds of my voice
I listened to the wind
go over my head and up into the night
Turning to the sea I said
I am Ezra
but there were no echoes from the waves
The words were swallowed up
in the voice of the surf
or leaping over the swells
lost themselves oceanward
Over the bleached and broken fields
I moved my feet and turning from the wind
that ripped sheets of sand
from the beach and threw them
like seamists across the dunes
swayed as if the wind were taking me away
and said
I am Ezra
As a word too much repeated
falls out of being
so I Ezra went out into the night
like a drift of sand
and splashed among the windy oats
that clutch the dunes
of unremembered seas</i></pre>

<pre style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><i>For I will consider my Cat Jeoffry.
For he is the servant of the Living God, duly and daily serving him.
For at the first glance of the glory of God in the East he worships in his way.
For is this done by wreathing his body seven times round with elegant quickness.
For then he leaps up to catch the musk, which is the blessing of God upon his prayer.
For he rolls upon prank to work it in.
For having done duty and received blessing he begins to consider himself.
For this he performs in ten degrees.
For first he looks upon his forepaws to see if they are clean.
For secondly he kicks up behind to clear away there.
For thirdly he works it upon stretch with the forepaws extended.
For fourthly he sharpens his paws by wood.
For fifthly he washes himself.
For sixthly he rolls upon wash.
For seventhly he fleas himself, that he may not be interrupted upon the beat.
For eighthly he rubs himself against a post.
For ninthly he looks up for his instructions.
For tenthly he goes in quest of food.
For having considered God and himself he will consider his neighbor.
For if he meets another cat he will kiss her in kindness.
For when he takes his prey he plays with it to give it a chance.
For one mouse in seven escapes by his dallying.
For when his day's work is done his business more properly begins.
For he keeps the Lord's watch in the night against the adversary.
For he counteracts the powers of darkness by his electrical skin and glaring eyes.
For he counteracts the Devil, who is death, by brisking about the life.
For in his morning orisons he loves the sun and the sun loves him.
For he is of the tribe of Tiger.
For the Cherub Cat is a term of the Angel Tiger.
For he has the subtlety and hissing of a serpent, which in goodness he suppresses.
For he will not do destruction if he is well-fed, neither will he spit without provocation.
For he purrs in thankfulness when God tells him he's a good Cat.
For he is an instrument for the children to learn benevolence upon.
For every house is incomplete without him, and a blessing is lacking in the spirit.
For the Lord commanded Moses concerning the cats at the departure of the Children of Israel
from Egypt.
For every family had one cat at least in the bag.
For the English Cats are the best in Europe.
For he is the cleanest in the use of his forepaws of any quadruped.
For the dexterity of his defense is an instance of the love of God to him exceedingly.
For he is the quickest to his mark of any creature.
For he is tenacious of his point.
For he is a mixture of gravity and waggery.
For he knows that God is his Saviour.
For there is nothing sweeter than his peace when at rest.
For there is nothing brisker than his life when in motion.
For he is of the Lord's poor, and so indeed is he called by benevolence perpetually--Poor Jeoffry!
poor Jeoffry! the rat has bit thy throat.
For I bless the name of the Lord Jesus that Jeoffry is better.
For the divine spirit comes about his body to sustain it in complete cat.
For his tongue is exceeding pure so that it has in purity what it wants in music.
For he is docile and can learn certain things.
For he can sit up with gravity, which is patience upon approbation.
For he can fetch and carry, which is patience in employment.
For he can jump over a stick, which is patience upon proof positive.
For he can spraggle upon waggle at the word of command.
For he can jump from an eminence into his master's bosom.
For he can catch the cork and toss it again.
For he is hated by the hypocrite and miser.
For the former is afraid of detection.
For the latter refuses the charge.
For he camels his back to bear the first notion of business.
For he is good to think on, if a man would express himself neatly.
For he made a great figure in Egypt for his signal services.
For he killed the Icneumon rat, very pernicious by land.
For his ears are so acute that they sting again.
For from this proceeds the passing quickness of his attention.
For by stroking of him I have found out electricity.
For I perceived God's light about him both wax and fire.
For the electrical fire is the spiritual substance which God sends from heaven to sustain the
bodies both of man and beast.
For God has blessed him in the variety of his movements.
For, though he cannot fly, he is an excellent clamberer.
For his motions upon the face of the earth are more than any other quadruped.
For he can tread to all the measures upon the music.
For he can swim for life.
For he can creep.</i></pre>

<pre style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><i>somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands</i></pre>Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06588792523490454784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368138281739160359.post-87513939790377176502011-11-07T07:50:00.000-08:002011-11-07T07:50:18.899-08:00Out of the Body, Forests of Light<br />

<br /> And that all the men ever born are also my brothers, and the women
<br /> my sisters and lovers,
<br /> And that a kelson of the creation is love,
<br /> And limitless are leaves stiff or drooping in the fields,
<br /> And brown ants in the little wells beneath them,
<br /> And mossy scabs of the worm fence, heap'd stones, elder, mullein and

spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn't he danced his did
Women and men(both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn't they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain
children guessed(but only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that noone loved him more by more
when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still
anyone's any was all to her
someones married their everyones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hope and then)they
said their nevers they slept their dream
stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)
one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was
all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes.
Women and men(both dong and ding)

reaped their sowing and went their came

The mirror
reveals him trembling. Perhaps there is no illusion in any of it. Eliot and

I had forgotten the way you looked as a child. This as I neared Seattle: the words of your most recent letter came back to me: "We wondered if you might have escaped us, like we thought we could escape you. Thirty years is a long time. I fear I've truly lost my hold on the past." You had spoken to me on the phone about the way your capacity to forgive has become indistinguishable from your imagination. This strikes you as a terrible thing, I think.<br />
Dark clouds hang above the city, and I imagine time punctuating our lives like a rain engulfing the void between passers-by. We see each other through years which are not so heavy as a single moment that brings us out of this lilting, airless love.</div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">A Blessing In Disguise </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">By J.A.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Yes, they are alive and can have those colors,</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">But I, in my soul, am alive too.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I feel I must sing and dance to tell</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Of this in a way, that knowing you may be drawn to me.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">And I sing amid despair and isolation</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Of the chance to know you, to sing of me</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Which are you. You see,</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">You hold me up to the light in a way</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I should never have expected, or suspected, perhaps</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Because you always tell me I am you,</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">And right. The great spruces loom.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I am yours to die with, to desire.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I cannot ever think of me, I desire you</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">For a room in which the chairs ever</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Have their backs turned to the light</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Inflicted on the stone and paths, the real trees</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">That seem to shine at me through a lattice toward you.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">If the wild light of this January day is true</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I pledge me to be truthful unto you</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Whom I cannot ever stop remembering.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Remembering to forgive. Remember to pass beyond you into the day</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">On the wings of the secret you will never know.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Taking me from myself, in the path</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Which the pastel girth of the day has assigned to me.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I prefer "you" in the plural, I want "you,"</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">You must come to me, all golden and pale</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Like the dew and the air.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">And then I start getting this feeling of exaltation. </span></i>Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06588792523490454784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368138281739160359.post-22584011369464311322011-10-29T11:10:00.000-07:002011-10-29T11:10:07.686-07:00Such Things As Come In Sleep<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"And so, yes..."</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"That was it then?"</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"In a small way.
