The Idea of Fusion at the Beach (After Wallace Stevens) (Free verse) by coffeespoons
Who has not felt unease at home
abroad outside, a wild haven
waiting in scorching sand,
And seen all this --
heaven in the bending of larches,
Twitch-pitchy pines and palmettos dancing;
Twelve and a half candles burning
into the sun -- and not realized
that this is an insane adieu.
We are like fire when language takes us.
Soft stanzas haunt our bones.
Arriving newer than stars,
we sound like nothing but the wind.

Great thought because that's our job-- to teach the wind to speak.
