"The poor, maimed thing. And yet look closer, see—
How she’s flying, motion focused on
And concentrated all around her knee,
And balanced marvelously on the dawn,

Its coolness, in midair, above the clouds..."
--Yiannis Doukas, trans. A. E. Stallings

is a voice barely heard

a light wrapped in fog
and a piece of steel
longing for flint.

Strike it."

Everything howls. It has no way to flourish.
The wild animal of ourselves, this learned condition
growls relentlessly."
