between honesty and shame
are merely pointed to in language
as father is to son or son
to the incalculable
spirit of things the mood
spread out of a solemn
beauty coming to rest
on eyes turned inward
to disclose an imaginative world
above all animal desire
(poor sinless animals – humans
are the only animals
capable of sin – which is maybe
why we love and fear them both)
but without sin no freedom
and to walk among ideas
as your friends
