What Urges

- Joseph Robertson -

intimacy1.jpg (35635 bytes)

What urges in lauded particular
spell distances to be addressed
or shape the impossibly diminutive
specific expanse
of the squared
milk-trimmed territory
you have prescribed for mystery?

what guess annotates
a truth
that measures the ultimate precision
of measuring
what skies think
what oceans know
what fire intends
for fevered days to come? 

what prattling peril
insinuates a vague tidal dominion
in the recesses of your unease
such that asking
begets the gleaming of shields
against all language
against the deep blue ruminations
of midnight?
