One
There was a painter
There was a jurist
There was someone
In between. In between
Them, an immeasurable beauty
Appeared then disappeared
From form and passed
Into memory and taking
With it starry gravity.
Two
Boy and girl
Young and old
Circle and square
Men who want
Women who want
Men who fight to prove
Themselves to themselves
Each other under
The starry circus.
Three
There was a gathering
There was a promise
There was someone
Standing in the same place,
Them and immeasurable beauty
Appeared then disappeared
A starry knifing
Shovel hilted
In the foundling earth.
