Current My breath shall be sufficient unto thee roared nearly in silence the attentively controlled muscles circling in and out in opening closing without cease to open again within me slaying every notion of I am portraying instead: a matchbox counting off each sulfur tip burnt: one by one the gift its warmth simply of joy or sorrow released: the simplest one word answer: body's heave in spirit's keep— this treasure is beyond belief: you are welcome into blood: into faint thickness & vitreous matter of star: which hour upon hour shall re-arouse the flick, o unchanging, o infinite power: feeling: this: how the automatic magic snows where all of this now eventually now ever shall go: struck into flames.
