DONALD REVELL
Upon
Diagnosis
Being so fast, the things
of this world cling
always to excitement,
seldom or never
to one another.
Pathos is ravishment
by gravity. Myth is monsters
clinging to moments.
To the splendid encampment
Achilles summoned monsters.
Not one arrived , nor
plain nor particular.
Myth is the disappointment
of heroes. Nature
is likewise a disfigurement
of women and men.
I
sec
a shadow meant
for someone else becollling
mine. I hear a blunt
inhuman sound becoming
sharply human. I want
attachment
to
literally everything
elemental so everlasting.
