He's come out of the man and he's let the man go — - William Carlos Williams

Among the rain and lights I saw the figure 5 in gold on a red firetruck moving tense unheeded to gong clangs siren howls and wheels rumbling through the dark city.

If you are not already too blind
too deaf, too lost in the past
to know or to care — I will write a book about you — making you live (in a book!)
as you still desperately
want to live — to live always — unforgiving

and so by
your love the very sun
itself is revived
