Satchel your whims
they tentacle in solid horizon
silent until they flee
a harvesting glad will
& smooch moons gleefully
This melt of tyrant
impetus rocks
our wall's giddy flame
All the sources wait before
prime mover rests
a weary mind in it's ready cradle
Count our blessings
count them
census them
Send them giftbaskets
Warn them of floods and epiphanies
Of desire's sleep
and count them again
by name by birth
order
write them
in new languages
and set them
Free across a blessless wasted lane
To caress the passing minstrals
This song is sung
in pentacle
in sordid origin it wends through muscles lax
and harvest dances over the moon's
mere gleam
Cradle our thoughts
tomorrow as they crowd the manger
brightly as they bear sons
And daughters away
with the light of futures
and breath of weary miles
Count our blessings
count them most as windows
censor them
Send them packing
Wear them on your sleeve
The broken spine of night's folly
count them again
by name by their velocities
write them down
with invisible words
and sail them
grasping everywhere
Freely across the world's dry seabeds
Until they slumber in the hearts of pelicans winging
