what is the word?
the sound
or my love
how shall I insist
or know
what kind of being can I bequeathe to thee of whatever character in whatever form
whose shape or tone
what kind of legacy
which organ
what news
what ornament or fire
in which tenor
and under which door
should I describe to thee
fair or terrifying
in any adjective–
not enough.
the language I use
is insufficent.
still I must attempt it:
if only to suggest the exit
from the trap of this language
the doors it has blocked off
the vistas it ignores
find them despite the shape of my words
all the things I am unable to share
