The great poems of <br />our elders in many <br />tongues we struggled <br /> <br />to comprehend who <br />are now content with <br />mystery simple <br /> <br />and profound you <br />in the night your <br />breath your body <br /> <br />orbit of time and <br />the moment you <br />Phosphorus and <br /> <br />Hesper a dark circle <br />of fertility so <br />bloodthirsty for us <br /> <br />you in the world <br />the night breathing <br />asleep and alive.<br /><br />Hayden Carruth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/endnote/
