The BlueIris Semi-Noightly Poetry Break, 6/27/08 
—from "Sound and Cerement"

	_______________________________
	
     It was getting to be the end again,
day done up in black, night white,
   edge along which we fell, thought,
 falling, this is what the songs all 
				    meant...
     All the songs were ecstatic,
				 lovestruck.
Hearts bled. . . Violins . . . A worm was in
     my brow, bit me, heart’s own target,
toyed with, I was only what was left . . .

          Abbey Lincoln sang a Sufi lament.
       Truth blurred if not blue, blue, bereft,
     face never seen they say . . . Lookless,
   faceless, voice heard in hell, life love
				 	 alluded
   to lifted, love's
  laryngitic
address

—Nathaniel Mackey
