“WITHOUT END

There is no final poem, just as
there was no original poem, and
if there was a tree that held a knowledge
of good and evil then we have done nothing
with that knowledge, moving back and forth
between the two, perplexed as sparrows
in a storm batting their small heads against
windows they don't see. The poem
is betwixt and beyond, within and out,
not the apple eaten, but the planets
themselves the apple and core, and we
the hungry, open, O-”
