Poem: Polar (triggering poem)

 

Polar

 

in a closet.

a place where the curled

reach up from a valley in a psalm.

 

hollow cloth hangs above.

crucified angels of wool,

or effigies of last defense.

 

no mediation,

not here in anxiety’s womb.

this valley in a psalm.

 

so inky at night.

this place where lack-of-movement

captures movement.

 

it prowls.  it alone stalks,

until dawn,

when a thought might think

 

the price of admission

beyond the door

is the same as the door.




======================================









Depression isolates.  But isolated time is time with the gods.
