Sigel XV

TWO POEMS

SIGEL XV

So if you love me,

love me everywhere,

blind to all argument

or phantasy

claim the one signet;

truly in the sky

God marked me to be his,

scrawled on me "I, I, I

alone can comprehend

this subtlety:

a song is very simple

or is bound

with inter-woven complicated sound;

one undertakes

the song's integrity,

another all the filiment

wound round

chord and discord,

the quarter note and whole

run of iambic

or of coryiam:

no one can grasp,"

(God wrote)

"nor understand

the two, insolvent,

only he and you;"

shall we two witness

that his writ is wise

or shall we rise,

wing-tip to purple wing,

create new earth,

new skies? .
