Conversation with St. Jacques' Animals


Prototype of Dog, of Lion,
     Time-toppled stones do
     change for us - -
     matter to matter,
          undissolved.

Plasm, protoplasm, dear
     nerves of child,
     interchange for us - -
     soul and energy,
          unresolved.

As we input Gothic forms,
     hair hewn of rock, digitized,
     process for us - -
     pure vision for babes,
          heralded.

Friends to pilgrims
     Compastello-bound (we would pilgrims be),
     your hazards furnish systems (saints even) - -
     our systems house but systems,
          ordinated.
