The Magnetic Purity of Before

All in yellow went my moon waning
on waxen downs of brightness

the dark soft nightspeak
to the bright bud of morning

the despicable purity of before
animals learn to chew, then swallow

to take in sips the rain
from cupped hands
and his lips
under wet eyes receding
to palate her new bloom.
