Misspoken Understanding
Crushed by memory that has by chanceWrought disorder grown late of living.
Captured symbolic logic and the glance
Forward into fate or happenstance,
A tireless dreamer forever giving—
Crushed by memory that has by chance
Counted a means unto advance.
Tearing the bit from lover’s chiding—
Captured symbolic logic and the glance
That measured distance an infinite expanse
Without patience and no understanding.
Crushed by memory that has by chance
Caught the unaware in timid stance
While bold step into unhindering.
Captured symbolic logic and the glance
That may without words weeping entrance
A spirit upon edgeless seams of dying.
Crushed by memory that has by chance
Captured symbolic logic and the glance.
