all
all about division
we know all about division
for there were 32
and they were dismantled like the bones of the ark
and laid upon the earth
their 32 gold heads placed above them
polished but with all the scars of warriors
they were long lain out in a circle
oiled, their feet clad in silver leaf
around the many circled hub
and in the concentric hollows of their minds
once of present passed
they called to us
in their calling make them whole again
as we must do and in that duty
so we will be replenished
like winter comes to spring and gives her love
like spring bears fecundity
and the burgeon of winters child
is borne into a profusion of autumnal fruit
and days
there were 32 of them
one hidden from the grey accounts of time
a secret day
in which we were dismantled in to feelings
only feelings without body substance
so that even the meaning
had no form
but glowered like a kirlian
between the chimera of reality and dream
and of the 32 golden hours that made the unseen day
8 of them were silver circular
because the energy of love is circular
and to this hidden day we are pledged
in secret kisses
hair run fingers slip
the silver feet of night
upon whose silent slippers
feelings raced by division stars
