Venus visits


Lying here
In darkness,
That is never heavy enough,
I lift the leaden pen
Towards tissue paper sheets,
The scratching sometimes helps-
But it doesn’t get to it
There is no focus
Under this solar eclipse.
I mark this occasion,
With singed retinas,
A scar to never forget
The sight-
It was just the words
That found me weak and feebly forgetting
My lines and knots,
Loops and circularity, entanglement and
Coincidence,
Felt as a brush of the lash, a butterfly effect
Of heavenly bodies.
