What breath in this chest I take
Take like the night at Dawn's wake
Wake as eyes must at our birth
Birth and pulse of a Heart's worth...
What shame I now must hold and own
Own as ball to chain, as flesh to bone
Bone deep to have been wrongly had
Had like used knick-knacks, paddy-whacked...
And yet, what colors made a learned soul
Soul as bright as faithful to All who's Whole
Whole of the infinite universe made absolute
Absolute to know my love blind and my hate mute
No one to speak to, no words for proof
Proof of life pursuant to heaven's roof
Roof without rooms for an emperor
Emperor, what am I but a seed to the conifer?
What am I to him, who dresses his sons in gossamer?

SONNET LOOP POEM. Combine the formula for a sonnet with a loop poem... This is a first attempt, maybe the first of its kind ever. Not a quantum loop, still an original. (Who the heck is Hellon anyway?) now what d'ya think...? discuss...
