hallucinatory
in palesky clarity-

this pouring of pine needles.
zeal for word.
zeal for the standing still
humming bird.
zeal for wind
that shakes my limbs
and deadwoods automatic.
incandescence-
neon mid day-
zeal for that
where nothing is pale,
and no choice anymore
but to fill detail.
zeal for all audience
and your irridescent
collective machine.
zeal for your heart's company-
and the circle that is constantly perfect.

Anonymousabout 20 years agoI love this poem, but I have an embarassing confession to make: When I read the line "In palesky clarity" I mistakenly read "palesky" (which I'm assuming is "pale sky" as "paleski"-- kind of like "polski" or " beerski" and for a few brief seconds I was wondering why you had attempted to "polish-ize" it!! *eek!* I quickly realized my error, but after that it was tremendously hard to read the rest of the poem without laughing hysterically. Anyway, I collected myself and read it again, and it's a wonderful piece of work. I'm not sure if the lack of a space in "palesky" is intentional, but if it's not you might want to think about editing it before someone else makes the same mistake I did (although that's probably unlikely).
