I need the big words
of religious philosophy—-
words like Being, Time—-
to pay homage to
the beauty of little things.
Heterogeneity
(light terminal sounds
often lost to breath): distinct
otherness in all
things, each thing only
once—-a glorious once. Flakes
make visible the
storm. Geometries
in the millions only
once and without names.
