O Time, O Heart, Where Is This Gate?

 

A way of going out which brings

return—let it be this moment’s

sinuous sign and fleeting motion

that charms and churns the unseen,

 

letting it come into view and speak

some of the names long-lost even.

Think of such one moment that rolls

and curves time itself to a line that cuts,

 

to a point that, holding all, stays this rush,

to a point of sheer beholding and ingress

where the soul draws her deepest breath.

 

But isn’t any moment at its heart—only if

there is one such heart—and its attendance

and its wrap—ever so—such one divine gate?
