The Pilgrimage, Book II: Part 12

The Pilgrimage, Book II: Part 12 / Phillip Neal Tippin

Grow,
Burrow,
More and more
Mole shaped

Comment on the ascent
And the deep intake
Of air
Or codify the descent
In the exhaustion
Of language.

Sneaks in sighs

Let us be like John—
Leaping in the dark.

Felt a fragment split
