hunker down; give up; hmm, what was three?
and, yes, i did choose, even still crouching and trembling

and, yes, i did choose, even still crouching and trembling
lest the choice with the least favorable outcome might be made


... and that was the morning and evening of the 4th day

inside the vault of the muse where invisible treasures are kept

the Dancing unicorn never wept
a sailor on the sea of night
dancing the entropy tango
whilst searching for the light

Which had long since burnt out
Never to relight in this life.

His lights were always on the horizon

His lights were always on the horizon
never focusing on what had been

never focusing on what had been
whilst stealing souls
and running riot
in their ruins
looking into the eyes of god
and seeing only the void

looking into the eyes of god
and seeing only the void
an aching bottomless pit

One Line Never Ending Poem's Sunday Afternoon Visiting Poet today is Denise Levertov
(coquette's word "aching" brought this poem to mind)

The Ache of Marriage

The ache of marriage:
thigh and tongue, beloved,

are heavy with it,
it throbs in the teeth

We look for communion
and are turned away, beloved,

each and each
It is leviathan and we

in its belly
looking for joy, some joy
not to be known outside it

two by two in the ark of
the ache of it.

~Denise Levertov (1932-1963)

We look for communion

the ache of it.

"Through her husband’s friendship with poet Robert Creeley" maybe. Thanks for the biographical reference.
