The Nakedness of Execution
~for Balanchine~
the empty page possesses the perfect clarity of nothingness,
making it perfectly clear nothingness has no business here
come, execute,
clothe thy nakedness,
be a carpenter and build
a shelter for your cover
be a carpenter
construct the art that dresses thy body
yet, undresses the glowing glory spirited nakedness
we desire,
let us see the visibility of your naked invisibility
execute
unmasked unadulterated unasked unmodulated
pick the wood, select the tools, carve the words
on your forehead, Carpenter Cain
that we may copy them onto our eyes
ask then what can I make of my perfect clarity
and execute
disclose yourself, clothe ourselves
