Quintessence: the Soul (If It Exists)
Ajar.
Aloft.Afar, afoot. Ashore,
atop. Aflutter,
ajar, sometimes a lot.
Then amuck,
adrift. Afire.
Awryly aflame. Asunder,
afucked. & closed
up, or is it down. Sometimes
for a year,
years. Then
afloat, aloft, ajarred afresh.
Anewer aglow.
Astride atrue, across aflew,
awhoevenknew:
something in you
so never closed, forever fucking
abloom, in fact,
even while amiss, adoom.
Unasleep, even
amidst the dullest
miseries.Who knew—this life,
this alive. Agog,
agod. Awash with vowel & you,
committed to
comma &
not yet, or sure, period, but then
right away up
to go alltheway down. To stumble
allaround for a
letter, another.
