"Thoughts to blood must always/in possible distinction talk.//Subject to instance, substance/weight, possibly-force, always;//and where are said breath, flight,/always the earthbound element/claims love//In other words (pictorial)/the difference in two hands/as pressed in prayer//and two hands flared, inverse,//the smallest digits locking wings."
