The Haven of Grace We must not search within space and in remembrance In the dusty enormity where houses sleep We must not search within time and in memory In scrap obscurity where the rooftops are chipped I would not have searched in wine nor in indulgence In the deep indigo void of a blank window I would not have searched in moments and history In the dull soulless streets under the weight of walls The plans retrace this topographical Archives create this chronological Death affirms pure in the empty dry gap Sand spread out dispersed in public gardens major And the collapsed school where aspires my childhood Grocers' skeletons skeletons of tailors Cadavers dispersed throughout the old book They have killed every wall they have killed the light's glow Before remembrance commences to exhaust They have killed all walls their supplementary livestock I die in each quartier through the city backdrop In little dust specks I dance at sun-up Of which my heart was of which too was my hand And my head and foot and my scholar's tableau And agony and pain and the games of the night A broom a broom a broom for the dust that drops I'm already so dead I laughed myself to tears This sea of which washed all those who want cleanliness
