22 EVENING LAND
We drove to the curl of Sakonnet Point at the
SE corner of RI snuck past the private property
& the “keep out” signs onto its pebbly spiral jetty
& watched the sun set, somehow into the Atlantic
late early summer evening the sun only an eye
veiled in lambent mist 57 fine shades of violet
most luminous sky ever screened by retina &
I saw one kind round rose iris in clerestory
lanthanum air-cathedral through the vault
of steel in heart of the earth or simply
the heart itself where 144 lines meet (ply
pan o’ply) an elemental number (all complete
now, fin) for Love is Lake Victoria of Poem
& Universe the shared factor (O Unionverse)
both yin & yang a givenreceptive openness
infinitenfoldunfurled banner of Joy (freedom)
Love is egalitarian & kind it will not break
the weakest willow branch of orphan poor
man widow it will endure with them, for
righteousness & justice & when the scales
fall from our eyes at last we’ll behold Scales
held in your palm of matrix-lines life-lines
a Romany (RIMN) hrmny, Maggie 28 pines
all swimming into view & one eye-in-hand
prevails. & the shadow of your hand on my
brow in the starlight of Cosmos-over-Chaos
(olive mountain) your paddlwhrlng S-O-S (O
sip & see) Ja-El Jessie O’L little song-tree
