RE-READING GEORGE OPPEN ~







Waking Who Knows






the great open




doors of the tall




buildings and the grid




of the streets the seed




is a place the stone

is a place mind



will burn the world down alone

and transparent



will burn the world down tho the starlight is

part of ourselves
