Communing with the Ancients
Through a solitary stretch sketched
upon a parchment surface,
hatched from the brooding memories
of isolations and interactions,
meticulously formulated
into ponderously balanced phrases
carried about clasped to the breast,
surviving rebuke and neglect,
hollered from resounding mountains
and sipped with tender attention
through intimate statements
and broadening relations
while retaining rapturous meaning
through transcriptions and translations,
through the extending lengths of space and time
the reach of poets have touched my life.
