lexicon or broken stones

the catalog will contain some
of ten some of thirty-three
chronicles
of the works unfolding through hands
too curled to weave
from the hardened
tips of fingers

thye tricksters all to the last
hide and seek
of the summoned and unbidden

here and here and here
places that are the names of
unsayable voices
rending the light
with their suggestions

unthreading tapestries
as they whorl
nearer

to the broken center
the hub with the ten thousand spokes

the name
that can only be heard

once
