dream. While I'm over here

counting.

THERE IS NO PRETENDING

Mary Jo Bang

There is no pretending to know

What crawls out of the mind lying quiet

By itself in the snow of the grave grass.

The living know this alone:

The onomatopoetic fout-ta-ta-rou of the mitral valve

Inferred but not felt by a mind that has left

Itself to others. Decisionless and dull, I am one

with the glass-bound aluminum clouds

In a glitter-knitted metallica sky. I live on

The bit of air that follows a door's night close

And the dusky base of the thumbnail that darkens

As it presses down on earth fading away beneath

It. Pax, peace. Axe, beat

Of the heart and its dumb numbered afterecho.

UGh
