Verses that softer spring from their cottony chapter

[jeff harrison]

spring, verse, 
your tune's 
train borne 
by no retinue --
  
were your 
echoes to 
rest, your 
face yards 
dark, what 
darker night 
could Jove 
throw?
  
unless diminishment, why,
echoes were copies ever
  
and unless diminishment,
echoes were mimicry ever
  
rhymed
satyrs
(& the 
rest of
that in-
corporeal
inventory,
combines
of hominal
& else)
  
(tales of satyrs, 
centaurs, sphinx, 
mermaids & such
in verse, portraiture
out the poets' throats
racing verse's echo 
with speech's echo)
   
put the brakes
(periodical, 
periodical, until
this dawdle is 
drawn to millennia)
on undiminished
animalistic 
enterprise 
in ladies & 
gents, but
the birds 
& beasts, 
participants 
likewise
in song 
passing 
from
throat 
to throat,
  
what 
verses 
did they 
swallow 
to circ-
umvent 
human 
utterance?
