Creed
by Ernesto Superal Yee

(for Nohvie Ruga)

the appreciative force
that reconciles

I do not invent. Inverted syntax
well beyond still infant-comprehension.
Always on the edge of wonder for:
airtight chambers straining with the aria;
song overriding auricle’s gravity
pumping red-diet-of melody to ventricle;
rococo’s minuet plucked in white key
ushers the history of powdered curls;
ancient suzerain rune, Just Hebrew Text…
could yield even hoard the ultimate marvel:
impetuous voice from a dark sea’s matrix
roiled, boundless, echoing, convoluted.
fill the orb’s need for something utterly whole,
copulative, marvelous, wonderful
