Poetry As Constellation

for Karthik,

'...descend, and of the curveship lend a myth to God.'

You hear

'consolation'

as 'constellation'

when I explain

a poem is a

consolation

work that I

am compelled

to

as a lover

is to traces

pointing

beyond sighs

and windows

where

Arcturus

stands

poised

wheeling

in night's

patient

slow round,

his arrow

strung

forever

ready to

swiftly fly

as am I

along the

spatial curve

of your

arching

thighs.

Thi s, too,

taut,

restrained,

breath held

in perpetua's

swollen

lips of

release -

If you

could only

see what

I see in

your eyes

when the

arrow

finally

flies

[for Karthik ]
