Texte intégral
1ON BEING INVISIBLE
2So you come home from a war alone and within a week the first place
3you want to be is in the bleachers of Fenway Park — one of many where
4no one knows who you were last week with your freaked out sense of mortality
5
6Incoming! You caught out in the open last day in country
7burying your face in the mud becoming the mud please dear God please
8make me disappear not be me and I’ll never ever want to be anything more ever again
9
10I’m looking to be as diaphonous as the deer by the apple tree lost in the morning mist
11Here today gone tomorrow nothing more nothing less just let me
12come home and rest in the bosom of Wallace Stevens:
13
14“For the listener, who listens in the snow,
15And, nothing himself, beholds
16Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is”
17
18Amen, brothers and sisters, amen.
