21.

When did you decide to try your endurance,

To turn back on this world dressed in a spectral night?

You know it by the ash, the wake of the crosses,

How “Shut up, Boy” burns beneath every tongue.

I wonder whose eye can resist looking back and

Not swallow them, these men: muted, gray, thinking.

22.

I know about the will, its selfishness, its entire

Greed: how it is a dark power, a moon,

And is supreme, Sir, a blue and uttermost fiction.

23.

Who is this boy that he should take these photos

And, as if into a river, slip in, fall in, am in

Complete submission, like a thumb to a mouth,

Like a thought into language, and am there,

Literally, with the hooded decade of these photos, a boy

Calling himself Isis, and I’m calling for you?
