I Can Hear, Underground, That Sucking And Sobbing, In My Veins, In My Bones I Feel It,- The Small Water Seeping Upward, The Tight Grains Parting At Last. When Sprouts Break Out, Slippery As Fish, I Quail, Lean To Beginnings, Sheath-wet.

A Mind Too Active Is No Mind At All.

I Bleed My Bones, Their Marrow To Bestowupon That God Who Knows What I Would Know.
