But where shall the blackbird nest, where
The lark rise into fragrant space and
Where the sedate flight of the heron
Register upon receptive souls, souls
Neither brittle nor moist but tragically
Altered in accordance with the one plan
Which no technology will dismiss from our brain
Nor experiment second-guess, as if
Love of life necessarily called forth
The scolding chief of the tribe or the
Weeping madonna self-crucified so as to
Cast all our suffering into the shade.
We are nowhere so carefully possessed of
Deadly spirits as among the works of our hands,
It may take us years to understand this.
Wisdom holds no one to ransom, not the
Disobedient child trapped by forces beyond
Anyone's control nor the docile beast
Patiently in waiting upon a human universe.
Here then I hold out among the weeds,
Among nettles and bindweed, momentarily
Strapped for cash as the bills arrive
Burning on my doorstep. The physician
Cruises the Mediterranean in sobriety.
