One, 1, None (Fifth Draft)

See a seen.
A shape inviolate
of wonder often has possi
bilities unthought.
Numbers expressed are
an orb extended. Rays
recall an orches
tral set. The musician
can do whatnot, exploring
music.

To restrict—
district—them, a scattered
cantata, a tested symbology,
two beautiful songbirds are wrapped,
caged, &

freed, released to
extension, allowed
room, extrapola
ting that value
encompass
ed via

motions, thoughts,
a simple cusp,

intent of accident,
stasis in

glorious manifests,
englobing, arousing,
merged in, entirely

one. That becoming, an
ocean via duct:
to 3, 4—counted,

adding reality, intention,
removing it, a
subtlety.

Subtlety moving around, a
way, to convince, to see . . . .

fisher, finder, what fingers

eradicate, and foreskin,
just what oceans

encompass: beach, reach,

tense reaction to it.
Was I enraged by
seven or seventeen ways?

Relative I be, relative were
numerals: 9, 8, 7. Forever
were these

to encroach from 1

to another,

a resistant sea, ecstatic sways,
to a 1.

Waves, waves, waves,
undulants, silver that must always
be as blackened

suns, constant, radiating, cooled,
thus penumbral and

and opening a
carefully formed hole into
an expected movement. A

signifier extends every motion
(motion again). Destitute, our aim
must then reveal a
or numerous ways
(version sings slowly)
that meanings be
all our febrile reaction
feebly creates. Dawdling,
and a motion moves
on several: I am

a dispersed,

disturbed, a
lost pearl, wrecked,
taut, achingly found.
Reveal, dispel ponderous
or, say, just limpid

ore,
that sickened, waste
&

fast depth that can be little,
little more
tortured by 1 way,
our injurious way:
curtly.

For a fifth year in a row, I am writing this piem, this poem based on pi, on this day of Pi, Pi Day, March 14th, wherein each word is the length in number of letters of the numerical value of its respective character in the figuring out of pi, and where each zero tells me to begin a new strophe. Last year, I ended with the words "reveal a," so this year we discover what is revealed.
