How most for to explain?
Arranging to appear against myself
always in separation
entailing backdrop by reintegration
as of the yellow and the lemon,
the paper and the tree,
like a prolongation of the past
from caves of their making.
Not mine!
But their thinking so continues it.
For is why I call out, one and one
and one, shards of a new dark.
And if the hour is correct with me,
if I fail to drop a step,
they cannot abscond with their viewing
or unhook their hearts
in adjacency to such silence
as now begins: like the disassembled drum.
But exactly not, a more far waiting
like ends of dreams of trains
too late not yet begun.
– J. Allyn Rosser, from Mimi's Trapeze (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2014)
