World turning on the axes
of good and evil,
spinning to places
I run from and run to
in the salvation and apocalypse
of one divided day.
It has now occurred to me--
we are all working on the same poem
that was started long ago
in the garden of Eden.
Still turning the apple,
looking for wormless words
to describe the wound.
This much I will tell you.
In the womb, you knew the poem
in its undefiled form.
It sang of love, and is singing still.
