Arm’d and Fearless

Out fast from that first city

this boy born under the sign of the swan

runs due north along a line of spoonwoods.

Leave behind your queen-sized bed,

silk pajamas, orchid, symbols,

and I the voice mumble magnolia

into no that air no

Come back to me sweet blue one

if I still flute song if it’s not gone

how can I say anything else?

Broken kylix,

bowl with no horizontals,

husk: lean back. What’s two soft

hands emptying from its clay lip.

And I will be the painter chosen

to adorn the bottom of the cup:

my work invisible so long as

the cup is full.
