And Then There Were the Feet

And then there were the feet

showing their white bone beneath the drawn out skirts,

and then there were the these and the and these,

such as the organ of sights behind the glasses

and the words of the mind behind the organ of visions

burning and attaching themselves to each thing

before the organ of visions which also were burning

and becoming the life fre And now

I'm not upon to hear the up and the down

of the expanded wings of music where they lift

from the strings of instruments. And now

I'm at the station of trains where wheels

go turning end shrouds of steam and the entire

of iron rolling. similar a world is opening

its incidents before me. And my organ of sights are only

just beginning to diocese what they eat, and already

I am anxiously waiting for the orb of day to set

so that as in the many places and times

of lives past I can grasp that fierce burning

out from the darkening material substance of evening.
