Eleusis Valentine

The worst thing
is to be pulled up hard
against one’s own
serious limitations
I mean especially
after the prophecy
of childhood to feel
the heaviness of things
sink in but refuse to be
limited by that instead
to accede intuitively
to a sense of one’s own
inherent illimitability
the full flowering of each
self that can only happen
over lifetimes and in which
this life must necessarily
be incomplete a missing
piece of everything and yet
hardly anything at all in all
