Gram


That we are not in the flowerworks
and not about to be,
replacing burned-out irises
understage, not
flooding the white
screen, the back-
lit luxor in
which it appears

that seeing the night
through, even
though not to altogether
would be not to be
at all, still wouldn’t be "having"
anything—even saying
it is

almost as much

as keeping particles apart,
as keeping part,
as keeping.
