INGLE EYE
A wild white rose at the side of the house
bloomed just today
like the city of Dioce
on green clover stairway Spouse
Sister in clusters of stars
Who are you? Magdala
Stone mosaic of gala
winefest little swirl of squares
corn-maze around an ingle eye
your single sigh
the keystone by-&-by
(little fiddlehead fern turning pern-
kernel the axle of the ax)
as Icarus burning wax
falls cataracts
into Grotto J (relax)
on Chartres nave-pavement discern
the Ariadne pattern
that angry monks learn
magnanimity & turn
again as falcons gyre into
the sun (mild smile
on earth mile upon mile)
the Son of Man is fashioned true
whisper those lips of windblown rue
Jessie Ophelia your
leaves of grace empowered
to plow deep rose to emerald blue
5.31.16
