Understanding the Nomination of the Night

Understanding the Nomination of the Night

Is it possible
to live
within the quarters
of the self?

Altogether
or independent,
there can be
no distance
to the center
of our being.

Dim,
the spectacular
and the humane,
the shadow
of brilliance
so run up a hill
that nothing
doesn't beg
and lead begging.

Painted
by the wind
and rain,
these glyphs
are palisades
at dawn,
and beyond,

to that point
where fashion
 just won't
save him.
