Vulnerable therein & perfectly
relinquished by statis,
object always of my
natal, crepuscular desire,

into the translucent specter,
body's blue fossil

of ice, never autochthonous,
still embarked upon

the imperative passage to get
there, to secure a geography

that will beg description,
narrative map, adopted

tentatively; if only to write
the ritual book of what was possible,
but never bound to occur.
