"transience" (from light)
the stone on the beach evaporates.
the lake is gone in the sun.
animals' desert skeletons
concealed in the eternal sand.
things wander,
die in each other,
sail like thoughts
in the soul of space.
caravans of living sand.
is this a threat?
where is my heart?
caught in the stone.
concealed in a lake.
beating deep
inside a humped camel
lying and groaning
and dying in sand.
Once more I recognize
a light within language
the closed words
that are there to be loved
and repeated until they are simple (45)
