dclxv. (for Peter Gizzi)
If sun. If in
that part
of the world in which

wars happen. If worse
comes to light. If –
& only if –

percussion precise
yet
simultaneously

haywire.
If general unease,
methodical, & what

is it & is it
profound? If
catastrophic

sun un-
godly sun. If
worse to come, to come

to light. If –
only if –
acoustic fit

for hours
& hours each day
unheard. If I could

think & make
my thinking
felt. If I could

think of, clearly, sun. If
only sun.
