I not I, forget forget
The curling-blue remoteness, days
Of nights without, and still more
In smaller said
Disected, Trimmed, Yes
And plucked, nerve by nerve:
A tensile-shrieking critical mass,
I self-abortive
Which humanly parts? I am
In borning still unborn, a rift
Of earth and sky becoming
I not I, forget forget
The word eludes;
Page on page of scratchings,
Purple drops all! infertile
Outward hatchings
A cataract eye:
My Poet lost, alone to ponder
The blue, half-forgotten temple
Of so spokenly pure
