PLAINCHANT

All you seem to know
or need to

is that—the voices
go
slow

and yet—somehow
faster

and faster,
toward this

ever increasing
and more
protracted slowness,

as they burst
and spread
farther

and farther
apart, until

the divergence
itself tends

to merge
into one

lucid-
yet-
incomprehensible object—

like a high
spidery

firework—
clinging

to the sacred
infinitude
of night—inside the eye

of the
mind—of an infant.
