E Mail to Damniso Lopez: Time


E MAIL TO DAMNISO LOPEZ

(TIME)

Time-this rumor,
Temporarily a moment
Of
Iconographic polyphonic obscure subjectivity
Containing
Vague objects and vague events,
A kingfisher is a kettle drum,
White gold hair
Hanging over the back
Of a blue kimono,
And King Lear.
Sunlight changes a spider
Into a pearl,
And gallinule's purple coloratura
Into a lonely room.


Duane Locke
