INTERLUDES; TO DIDEROT: 1, by                    
First Line: In plazas calcined pure white, bulls charge
Subject(s): Diderot, Denis (1713-1784)


in plazas calcined pure white, bulls charge
troublesome swarms of wasps. the realm of hypothesis
suspended in the amphitheatre amid endless empty tiers.
what could we be today, love, now that we know
we're not here? so has chance decided, the automaton
sings the story of its perfect mechanism
gone mad on a level with the heart. far away,
on a wall of stone, sentiment has built a nest,
eagle-eye stares hard at infinite matter, our
egestion of reason, orphaned milky curd.
to sleep, the heart seeks soft breasts, the body's
singing harmony rouses monsters. in the shallows
at low tide it palpitates inside a trench of sand.
