To Sit Arrayed

Topics: classic

To sit arrayed         and task consumed         by the edge of a window,         the world as fire         stepping free of winter's stain,         jutting fingers of light         to a basement ledge         then allowing their         foggy movement to         displace dust's circle         as it has come         to be known         over the last         five months,         is to come as         near as possible         to the brink         of private         sanity.
