growth


GROWTH

This summer's rejection,

its tart magic blazing

in the rainbow flood,



Can reflect no middling passing,

nor leave unremarked smirks

of sand-drying lips in repose;



Can betray not in mad oil

or colors watered down

rich economy of salient laughing,



For truly the sign, the signature,

the thing unclocked is death

redeemed in thundering growth.
