for it sits where it cares to,
and infiltrates the mind's city with a spectral embrace.
The salty character of damaged songs
that always speak without speaking
and prescribe time as a feature of a chariot race.
I want less movement
flowing backward from the words I make;
I want the sea, if not the salt,
a fretless tide that is never damaged
– unlike the words I make.
