APOCHRYPHA

  

Without biblical imagery

A desiccated oak leaf

Swivels on its stem,

Stuck in a sunlit sheet of snow

Tracing a wheel within a wheel

With the points of its tips,

And comes to rest

Fixed like a sundial,

Shadow frozen

Upon the face of time

  OUR LAST COMMUNION     The last time that I saw him      He lay upon a hospital bed, Strapped down and thrashing to and fro.    ...
