PEACOCK TAIL
Dawn light through circumference
of dome conveys some sense
of dreaming weightlessness
as of infinity & omnipresence
so Hagia Sophia & peacock tail
might meet upon a tangent
in Ravenna Dante’s ancient
flame a spark, skimming the axle
of a galaxy, loosed from an arrowhead
flint, striking limestone
footprint (Galilean,
Nazirite). Behold star in its idea
redemptio-solidarity
adamant & diamond
centri-petal (almond
mandate) everybody
Ordinary & Ionian,
the windswept sea-grass
bareness of the place
tombs of sovereign dominion
lean down to green Columba
(San Franciscan)
his poverty of means
reverberating simple soul euphoria
& an implicit recognition
of immeasurable flow
bread, wine now
always (indelible, human)
