Carved in Stonelessness
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
A spirit splayed through vacuum,* a ghost
Through heavens, long filled up eternity
And spacelessness. The cosmos is engrossed
In this. This splay hit wide supernity,
Met atoms and mere times, then turned to fill
These two as well. Mere matter and mere time
Must fail to gauge it. Holiness must spill
Beyond their boundaries. Holiness sublime
Unlimited is perfect. It is like
A wraith that ever lived and never dies.
This deathlessness and sacredness alike,
No start or end, is like God’s boundless skies.
This spirit slips through punctual because
Of Edens everywhere — and spirit laws.
* The poet pronounces this as three syllables.
