Happy Monday, readers. Today's poem comes from A Tonalist by Laura Moriarty (Nightboat Books, 2010). Enjoy.
8. The Imaginary Community
Real as thought
When thought
Plain as paint or
Audible sings
In tones that
In times which
These darknesses
Seem light
As among beings
Or notes between them
When us means both
Many letters
Between us
This commerce
As fast as light
Sets the tone
Webern's Bagatelles
The dark light again
As with yourself
Though (I am) not there with
But aware of (you) on
The edges of everything
To be read as if
Our lives depended upon
Knowing there is one
Are ones who know
