Beginning Word


         
Enunciated
melodic line
describe the cosmic
paradigm.

Plumed syllable,
finned furred or feathered
phrase,
dart break-darkness forth,
spirit first,
to measure heart-beats worth.

Light-sword stabs
of conquering flame
by far-flung word
decapitates the shadowed sphinx
that only thinks
with draw-forge,
wind-breathed wire,
that only sings
harmonic star-shot choirs
of song.

Aurora Borealis
over still mountain lake,
wearing midnight stars,
the living light of man
trembles
 to the be of heard,

throbs to wounding
of that sacred head
who swallows in victory
life of dead
by random
in His patterned word,

rising from the black absurd,
bleeding red,
leaves no unworded
budding syllable
still-born,
cast forlorn
on breasted silence,
unsuckled,
unnestled,
unsaid.
