autumns bring
a Hollowness to which
her perfumes
Fall out of the reach
of Hope, numbly, to The pale Tomb:
Still, like mirrors inversed
against themselves, eyes
paint on this universe
(of hell) their merest Paradise
outside: Spring the deserter,
Winter th'willing volunteer within
Uniqueness staring at itself
with no Culprit (here)
where Shadows I see
on the atmosphere
viciously eating up all Life's sounds
are just reflections (of me)
What's that Silence?
Almost:
Bloom's bellowing Sense
of The Profound
--Which might not reach The Surface
but whose Solemn Pitch
rattles the sober face
