The fugue tree

Waking from starless dreams, 
in that infinitesimally small pause 
 is an infinitely plump potential. 
Why must I make plumb
body, time and place?

Lying in the shade
I am tempted by 
a nameless fruit
to drink its strange wine,
be soul-drunk blind,
and set fire 
the cathedral 
of memory 
that surrounds 
my self.
