A Language of Truth


A LANGUAGE OF TRUTH


The aim of poetic language is to bring
The echoes
Of None Speech

Into consciousness,

To preserve as a neural and corporeal aura,
A nimbus,
________The pre-para-linguistic.

Outside the orangey and its orangutan is
A dim silver shivering moss-segmented

Bright, bizarre light,

A phosphorescence that twists into the
Luminous fan-spread fins of a leaping fish.

Even the mosses lose
Their demarcations, their edged, their
separations,

Become silver in silver
Inside
My disappeared self'
