A Poem in three sections concerning the Nature of Time and Poetry
Part 3 of the continuing series about Music and Salvation

small poetic
moments
     watching
movement from
a train window

     [watching
from a moving
train the window
into relativity
     sweeping
rails
     passing
carriages]

the poet's
voice a painting
     

his recording
an example of time
transcendent

small points
extended along
non-linear ge
ometry
     across
the void
served
a bit at a
time from
whichever site
discerns
     the

gram
     

moments without
claim or
or guarantee

[the end of verse
three]
     an
instant vision
which marks
the time
     as if it
were a beginning
or an ending or
     an end
