CORINNE DEKKERS PASSAGE (IF THE HIVE GIVES OUT) when earlier than midsummer you came I followed and took the train north past Spuyten-Duyvil to breath as you were breathing and to the door as duir and ogden as malachite means something different if the acorn falls and the hive gives out if the field breathes plates and plates of mouths the fine grit to bird to you to hum to bid you moth mouthing moth and run then balm for balm your mouth may keep the mothing at the kitchen door and then the bedroom door and then the lamp in the room with no door but with you and with your mounting mean of sleep that bores you into and out of our mountain where wood meets wine and grain and wheating here the newest sleep you slip from palms as yours and bend: to open the weighting of wood to fall in no wood but from a tree and to a hand perch sitting below on other wood burled wood clipped for sand and pike if an acorn falls and to this hand gives uncrowned a message what bearing does the bearer give this message |
