All Trunk

April 1st, 2008

All Trunk

Focus all feeling as if in a leg,
Ghettoize it, pen it in,
until the chopping jettison.

Focus all feeling as if on a bough,
herd there your beetles, bluejays — like cows –
until bark’s unseen, then let sink saws. 

All trunk, immobile.
All column of calm.
All torso, noble:

a psalm; something
embalmed
