A. R. Ammons(1926–2001)
All's All
A construed entity too
lessened to syllabify;
a mite or more
dimpling
domy 0 generalization;domelike
a vague locus
(the flow of air
through prisons)
a puff of
the whiff of
a snail falling asleep;
stringy recollections of
fruitflies cruising
rosy bowlsful of
mangoes ripening mild:
ghostly leavings leaving
ghosts leave: retinal
worms empurpling
light scars
behind today s views:
bits of
retrenched nothings:
so much so,
little and all
alternately disappear:
the tiniest kiss
at the world's end
ends the world.
