There — a poet
saying
soul, crystalline,
illusion, diaphanous,
eldritch, mystic,
heartstrings, crystalline
(again);
and another
saying
justice, aggression,
oppression, supremacy,
revolution, war,
peace, justice
(again).
Over my shoulder
the voice of one
saying
nuts, bolts,
pencils, slipjoint pliers,
leaf-litter, lighters,
smocks, lighters
(again);
this is the one
I turn to hear,
the one
in which I trust.
