Conceived By The Union

Mark Fleury

Conceived by the union
Of emptiness and breath,
I’m poem, safe in the foam
Of an ocean’s

Farm; I walk across the field of emptiness

That I’ve been polishing to a clean,
Sparkling shine by opening
Inhale to the edges of exhale.

Incoming tide gliding across
The blue beach sheen like clouds above

The barn: their layers of gray had furrowed

My brow but now
My forehead is as open as the golden

Loft in the yellow of the flaming belly
Of breath that’s also a nested, baby

Chick’s feathers. The tender bird
Dreams, on a rafter’s cross beam,
Of Christ’s skeleton taking flight.

Those spined angles, the farmland under

The ocean, also are the breath I use
Like a rag to clear the space for the poem’s

Syllable-tipped sentence arrows.
The target, the crucified martyr, is the
Spinning thinking trying, ambitiously,
To be more than breath itself, detached from
The holy, higher realms.
