Infinity
is
a beyond-word
it’s
an out-there
untouchable,
like
tomorrow,
but
a little this side
this
today and now
is
catchable
in
different perfections
where
imperfection
of
color, line and material
play
with finger and brush
thread
and weave
to
contest all poverties
to
mark presence
to
mark those
as
yet untouched
constellations
made
of diamond and pearl
petal
and insignia
bead
and pendent
butterfly
wing
and
memory
the
perfect pageant
and
frozen drumbeat
elegant
vessels on perfect waters;
no,
infinities
are not grasped
but
their outlines
are
handcraftable
with
finite tenderness.
