<P>I lie in body </P>
<P>and demanding much less</P>
<P>than a spark</P>
<P>A vial of oil</P>
<P>Let the paper ends burn</P>
<P>And these legs </P>
<P>-riddled with a peppery stiffness</P>
<P>Let them dissolve in purple ash</P>
<P>And the body here </P>
<P>Which you can see of course</P>
<P>Could very well be that of the polluter</P>
<P>Numbing into a brief digress</P>
<P>Without weight of fabric </P>
<P>Only that heavy cotton firmament</P>
<P>Carried off and yet </P>
<P>Set motionless</P>
<P>Metaphysical in absence</P>
<P>And since we are not here</P>
<P>Maybe there is blindness in </P>
<P>Even the presence of scented light</P></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>
