Return (no. 131) - Eliot C.

  Return (no. 131)


The labyrinth twists and groans
in the elliptical transgression
            of the heart,
like a train swallowed whole
in a tunnel where the wind
            is softly shown,
digression, moved alone
            and side to side,
                                    grown,
in the elliptical garden of the
                                    heart
            shone and shone,
                        brightly against the leaves.

A moratorium on light,
                        tall centuries,
in vertical transfusion
(nothingness,)                      
escapes essences
spiritual, unknown,
           
      the apothecary’s ointments
                   in grass bloom,
                        glass
                                         shaped and blown.

And wrapped around
      these heart-trees
            underground
upon which frowned
      the many smiling face
            where lost,
                  the silent letters
                        of the heart
                              endlessly in all       
                                                directions
                                          are aroused,
                                                      untied…
