A FLOWER BETWEEN TWO ABYSSES

is a star given

to a giver

of the same

opening in

and closing out,

the self-same

unfolding

of Saint

submerged

in so much

loss

of home,

of origin

in repetition

like

post-presences

in the book,

like

the elimination

of former cases,

which is,

precisely,

the case

as is,

letter to letter

taking

its sacred form

out-of-the-world,

into-the-dark.
