  Love and the gentle heart are one thing

  as the wise man puts it in his verse

  and each without the other would be dust

  as a rational soul would be without its reason.

  Dante: La Vita Nuova verse 20

  My stuttering verse with its uncertain notes

  A shudder takes me: tear on tear entire

  The firm heart feels weakened and remote:

  What I possess seems far away from me

  And what is gone becomes reality.

  Goethe: Dedication from Faust.

  Mounted-masking haunting hunted nightly starlight-dusted…

  Charmingly alarmingly meant blent metring dis-armingly into so-many bound packaged now opposital polar-outpourings

  Of some sadness and only consequential-wisdom

  Found-warning warming swarming-polarities…

  As around the equatorial-rim risking em-bodying spelled-out now out there

  Surroundingly rushed-by:

  -Specific-Pacific…

  Spellbound-captivated distracting…

  -Whole-Oceanic…

  -Whole-Earth…

  Each of Us: As Now! Out-cast glanced-off

  Crumbling-inundation torn drawn-away.

  Drilled-down gnawed-at Emblematic empathetic-pleading plain-sailing…

  Belligerent blue-green rock-ore

  Born battered bruised and rat-running rutted.

  Then rotting furiously ignoring of Graces engorged or Fates-fallen

  Mouldering ruddy-fleshed flushed appleine-core:

  -With each last remaining part…

  -We! The Living departed…

  With Each reluctant yet intentional last-part

  With no-chance of return

  As of nothing to return-to.
