209

Each green bronchus seemed to
Have been arrested in the process
Of munition : every growth coming
To propagate growth in a sequential
     Catalogue of possible forms so
The totality of all its manifestations
     Should transcend the observer,
Attaining that omniprescence of
Any complacent prospect that wills
Itself extended beyond all made
Boundaries : being, as it was, a reef
     Upon the air that heaved as if
Assuring of supraplein abundance.

The sense of the sublime is
As a light that runs its cable deep
Into the heart of our being,

I disclosed to myself in silence,
As the train passed in state
Through dusty crepuscular rays

That fell from flaws in the vault
Of the canopy. I will take that
Light to me as I would any other.
