Sake
from Journal Title # (200X)

In order to be found --
or recognized --

one must repeat
a passage at some length.

 

       *

 

"Why do Princesses
Caroline and Stephanie

always marry
the wrong men?"

 

       *

 

Repeated passages
are gathered

as if
for their own sakes.

 

       *

 

A child's cry breaks
into spires
and alcoves;

glass
is stained.

 

       *

 

From here on
it's all metaphor

(self
as repertoire)

 

       *

 

Music extends "at once"

how far?
