Given a moonless sky
there was once a time
we could hold words in the mind
far as the line of horizon.
The problem with pragmatism
(aside from self-loathing)
is that no one sings of it.
Of spring: it is not that the flowers crouch on
with an aperture already dialled to metabolize
a portion of the sun, and die,--
it is not that all of this unfolds as scripture.
We live in a web of connections.
For Hume, the sun might not rise.
The flowers will come.
