from The Larger Nature

A sanction gone awry was my portion to cultivate

Giveth and taketh away

This is how adaptation occurs A perpetual recycling

A sanction gone awry was my portion to cultivate

Giveth and taketh away

This is how adaptation occurs A perpetual recycling

Make-do-and-mend again and again

   *

When this limbo becomes mobile and remains so

depends upon my knowing the desert

with utmost rigor and eloquent discipline

It is the road to ardor wrought through uncertainty

   *

How the world is told is how it inscribes itself

on our clothes

How we become what we hold of it

Congruent

   *

The longing-sector of the heart beholds

relentless scrutiny

Inquiry and collecting serve vigilance’s conspiring

The shoot of yellow under winter

Found
