Phrase Book
Play hardens into knowledge
(Huizinga)
Leaf readers (tea, tree,
book (1 leaf 2 pages))
leave sound to wither
diaphragm-powered language
versus verses written
such different lairs of sense
linger in memory (hums
of bees as a kind of mind)
readers report on a future
find solace there where once
we went with confident out-
passing of ports after storm
an asteroid is among us
is us mother to us mingled
masses of earth gathered
like signatures sewn
an asteroid came calling
the trees did burn the fish
did drown the air did burn
and small life smoldered
like birds
who exhaled the last
of atmosphere another world
among us a world a way.
