WILDLY FEVERISHLY


The light of the hour complete with shame

Thinks of what come first and enjoins the earth

Full shaken and molded from the touch first

Fires at its absent remainder in the shade

It is not a time for playing with rhyme

Searching to recommend itself again

Seeing no difference made of shadow’s pain

The same careful tune that it came in alive

Had ventured and vanished to reprise the day

Where has its parting begun but by day

Oh, how its essence pervades and aligns

The fullness of the afternoon gazed

Has not been forgotten nor emanates

As plusses and minuses alert

Nor as the aegis of the self-same fire

But as wildly as feverishly

 

 

 

Where evil awaits bedlam medicine runs

Why wouldn’t science be anxious to be so

No one can appreciate beneficence

Their nature is opposite inference

The sane and the departed can’t hear it

They must form in harmony or veer

That little habit of convenience steers

A way that from nowhere appears a verse

The same that a thought made of glory or mirth

War to the wages of everyday shrines

Art is a vehicle and its driver

Take just one of these as a sample

Words are free until they’re captured by poems.

They may be powerfully old and ashamed

Written by someone for anyone’s name.

A vice grip in the memory of stone.

Far greater is its worth than its damage.

A sonnet in the afternoon, plumage.
