Classic and Contemporary Poetry
OOZE, by STAN SANVEL RUBIN First Line: : to flow or leak out slowly | |||
: to flow or leak out slowly, to disappear or ebb, like time, or love, or music from a hidden box whose source you'll never find, or secrets slowly lost so that in time they're not secrets anymore, but slime, the stuff that covers everything at last, the bog of feelings bagged like eggs, the complex mucus, the visceral fecund night ragged as a flag -- breaking and unbreaking -- from which we came.
