What the Body Means
He seems a creature
bent to half its height,
the likeness of a burden
roughed out in oils
honey-gold and hung
between rising and falling
as he makes a seat untaken
atop the red along the curb –
his twice-jacketed arms
pushing palms against eyes
cast by glare into retreat.
In the bite of early sunshine
he seems to doze
as proof of what the body means.

What A Body Means He seems a shape bent to half its height, a likeness of the soul roughed out in copal oils and hung between its rising and its falling. And as he makes a seat untaken atop the red along the curb, his arms, twice-jacketed, push palms against eyes cast by glare into retreat, and he seems to drowse in the bite of early sunshine as proof of what a body means. -or- What A Body Means I feel no more than a shape bent down to half its height, a likeness of the soul roughed out in copal oils and hung between my rising and my falling. And as I make a seat untaken atop the red along the curb, my arms, twice-jacketed, push palms against eyes cast by glare into retreat, and I begin I think to drowse in the bite of early sunshine as proof of what a body means.
