Edna
Enamored with her otherworldly
eloquence in pursuit forever
of Edna
his love around they went
through time
and expression and Edna
for her part had a wandering heart
and still he worshipped
the Earth upon which she sat
when first they met feeling was
paramount
he felt exalted
as a constant cross years
she was a Delphic oracle of
pleasure
when first they met he remembered
as if now
words like jewels like senses
mountains of the Earth stand
distant
and every day shells itself to
consume
till once at coffee
years like crags
she said you only love my array of
pleasure
not me
as she presented papers of
dissolution before him
mountains of the Earth stand near
away swirled every possibility
he said I will contest
this forever, even to the high courts
so strong is his lack of grasp
of Edna
Edna in days strung like ghosts
disappearing away into the mist
