Inscription
Zero
(by lovers’ pen-knives –
by sun-beam on Birch by
stone tiles; by unknown
traces light enters a grave;
by all lost fossils touching
refuge, sketch a limit by
that letter “+” and one
path reveals another;
by the eye, horizon, hoop
of the sun etc.; by the
covenant against death;
cry out, thou heartless
haunting shape, your name
a house in tempest, atom,
tomb, though not self-
similar, infinite breakage
up the stairs and we will never
arrive at YOUR doorway
bearing an illustrated paper -
what’s to hide? - the several hands
severed heads; but no, the empty
space takes place, keeps bound
now time’s gush, huge shifts
in the core; a symbol erupts
and nothing happens
here through stars exploding
very very very rarely)
