Tempting
to place in coherent collage
the bee, the mountain range, the shadow
of my hoof -
tempting to join them, enlaced by logical
vast & shining molecular thought-thread
thru all Substance -
Tempting
to say I see in all I see
the place where the needle
began in the tapestry - but ah,
it all looks whole and part -
long live the eyeball and the lucid heart.
from
"Four Days in Another City"
Some Lamb (1975)
