“The Infinite”


This hedgerow hides the skyline from my view,
But not my dreaming mind; this lonely hill,
A broken levee where I ponder still
And sunken, lone survivor of a crew

Of castaways adrift in endless blue,
Protects the floodplains where my questions spill
But barely, and there washes in a nil
And tongueless terror woven through and through.

My heart is sore and sick. Beyond the bar,
In the immensity my thought is drowned,
And silence claims me for eternity;

But past the outward strand of sense and sound,
The merge of beating heart and pulsing star,
How strangely sweet the foundering in that sea.
