Agnes Martin on a rooftop

under insular raindrops

           —Anne Waldman, from Refuge Vow, a Parable

‍

‍

How does light work

As a cryptic answer

To spring’s anxious life

‍

Flare of light, spear of star

come, come whatever you are

‍

I find myself watching this one bee

Burrow in a blue flower fence-wended

Each both scented for need & for greed

I am never more happy than alone

Except my love when the light appears as you

‍

Whatever this is, it brings us both strengths

We will be right as rain when desert-arrived:

In good time, as oracle-hummed buzz

Unerring trust, dust devil deliverance.
