Utensils

Richard O. Moore

2008

An available palette thickened by air

words I hold and so fast lose.

 

A thunder so low an inaudible present its slow

cycles place me shaking in its throat.

 

Stare and beauty opens like a work of fire

a made thing a connection must be made.

 

This is to say necessity is a place made all of stares

come beauty come the final ruin of the world. Stop :

 

for what it may be or was a burned-in-after-flash of fire

over distance measured light years. The glamour of it all.
