The Hand As Sun God


The term "pillars of the wrist" was engraved upon the lintel
   through which one enters
                 the deeply placed. We want the neural point.
   There is a pause

                     in the curve that resists            gravitation,

                                                     that suspends
   a glass gyroscope on the windowsill; one has invisible friends
   that turn on a central axis
                                 like a revolving door,
   hands are a form of wind.
