from Wharf

Every world behind this world
A reflection

The odd numbered nth world
Reverses

As we read
The text
Hardly seems worth it

We must love one another
Makes nothing happen

Makes us do
Nothing
And love happens

Between

To write love and mean _________
Reflects the actual opposition

Of to love and to mean
To repeat
Oneself

Infinitely alternating
Every world behind this world

Take your lover
To an empty room. Only
Language will do

What wind
Through a mirror will
