No Center

      This lithesome, wistful wastefulness,
      The poet's proposition "I is...."
      The relative silence of the inarticulate pang,
      The hand half-ruminant
5     That will twitch to write....
      There is no center to the soul
      Who's numb circumference
      Is ghost and goal.
