Joseph Ceravolo: White Dwarf
To the salt,
if there is any left
on this planet without life,
I give up my soul,
I give it without the body
to exude a vision
of life without a planet
What is left beyond that?
The morning
between the leaves.
Misery, love, generation,
all screwed up.
But stars look even brighter.
Love, morning, stars, slightly
blue now, in the
continuous lighting
of the heavens,
earth, hell,
the bright star, and the universe
all alone.
Joseph Ceravolo (1934-1988): White Dwarf, from Millenium Dust (1982)

Donald Trump, in his latest
broadside against the Russia investigation, said on Monday said that he has an “absolute right to pardon myself”, adding
“but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong?” Trump said his right to pardon had been ‘stated by numerous legal scholars’.: photo by Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images, 4 June 2018

White Dwarf, definitely one of my Holy Joe Top 100!
ReplyDeleteIt brought me to tears reading it here, Tom. I'm off to work with the beauty, brightness and filth of the world running through my veins.
ReplyDeleteDuncan, a fair share of the JC poems I've posted have done that to me as well, as, long before, the poems when first writ and sent along or published had done, in that other century - and as they are still doing now. And/but I'm not even off to any sort of work or anything any more!
ReplyDeleteThe way the lovely diminuendo ending, here, sneaks up on the cosmic Ineffable and Inexpressible, by the back door, so to speak, before disappearing it into the large darkness whence all came, for example.
