Roots
Spreading east and south
roots attach to sphagnum
softening rock above the permafrost
arms stretched open by
endless benevolence arresting
love in an embrace of absent
sunlight, luminous Borealis
painting sky lobes and heart
leaves with velvet infinite
crescendos of celestial music
played by ephemeral instruments
dressed in limpidity as if
declaring purity is as
plain to the eye as in every
peaceful mind of man or beast

Prejudiced

With that prejudice the disobedient toward death,

the crafty, the hypocrite, the unconvinced,

he underlines insignificant or inexistent things:

the fluff of the dead bird on the thorns,

the window that opens to a dead-end wall,

the scratches of the wall, the sketch of a vessel

the handsome archer among the large lilies

that invisible depth which the archer aims at

while two dead men, with turned backs, slowly

and carefully raise in front of the window

the white, square, stretched bed sheet.
