but for us they
not the inner grace of the blind
            but the  outer grace of the deaf
                                    divers  leap from the cliff edge
                                      that  also is for you
the whole body a sign
                                    or  jockey on horse
                                                                          the  shine
after the quake people crawled from 
                                      collapsed  houses
              enough to  make you cry
hands out of pockets out of gloves
the flaw is the perfection of the template 
                                                              maybe  everything he knows of women
made to be seen
                        birds  know themselves            
                                      shit  and feathers
                                                                          but  they fly for us
            sound on  air
              moth born  to die
              incandescent  bulb
              our youth
              the earth even  
   but for us they
     if an inner landscape
