Sum Of Summer

 


A sum of summoning: a sum of summer. If the wind casts the leaf out, now in a gesture for me to complete according to my conceiving or according to my conceit; for me to extend, or return to its source so the soul can embrace and the voice say of course! Just so: on the other side of human folly falls my lover's gesture, too, that I sought to woo beyond her ken, to wit: part tragedy, the old Gibraltar, past the one star post that stamps the past to dust. To carry this suggestive gesture forth upon its journey; and this set of gestures, too, for you, with open ends, with craving, lust, and longing: name after name from open gestures I have swiftly risen to: bows: goodbye waves: skeins of honkers: slaves the seasons manumit. Dropped to other magnitudes; scaled up, scaled down, scaled through: will you?
