Dawn Will Usher Me

bluish nets

to the edge of Ulysses kneel kneel
i will kneel there i will embrace glass shards
broken helms i will drift in tawny sails
of Van Gogh stars you will notice me in my
meditations this is where we shall meet        down
down touching gold statues of unknown gods

there will be no rebirth

  our continuity will mark

five million ocean-lives our genesis in spiral
volcanic shafts & space particles feverish quests
plankton rushing splintered light from another
world’s desires we go down

  half-buried deities


staring forever lacquer-brushed & scraped from
yesterday & yesterday within yesterday wounded

    or         is it timelessness


or is it simply your life my life in ragged flow &
our race toward existence it is nothing again within
nothing again it is
this vastness still a vastness this
multi-turquoise deep grasp
our will to become to
come into being are we ready did we find our way
through the jagged ascensions it was
always the song & the singing the whirling

  & the leaping
the gasping & the bursting the fractal substances
of our birthing belly the infinite multiplications within
the infinite multiplication
  this is our crimson oneness

  the hidden duplications yes

the very last mirrors this Kali Yuga bathing you
& me extracting the elixir & the howl then you go

  & i bow
last reefs &
barnacled piers
bleeding galaxy & that is all there is giving
