Questioning Quantity
I
was questioning quantity 
The
very first day 
The
second mongoose birthed 
The
new moon’s third fairy daughter 
Feeding
the fourth river 
Flowing
through the five fields 
Freeing
the creek from the six dry rocks of summer drought 
I
charted the chances of 
The
seventh hour of 
The eighth enchantment stone and 
The
syncopated transcendence of the ninth turtle
 Matches the ultimate glory of 
The
absence of ten black holes or 
The
opposite of eleven vacuums 
I
grew in twelve twisting ways
The
minute the moon’s third fairy daughter 
Began
teaching me 
To
dance the thirteen dances of the forever living 
Through
fifteen barbed wire valleys 
Over
fourteen rock pile farm fences and 
Every
one of ‘em full of grapes for wine and 
Going
for days of soft color and simple sounds 
I
received the moment coming after 
The moment before it
 Cherishing the audacity 
To
which it will attest 
Guiding
my continuance in the moment now 
I
received the moment coming after 
The moment before it 
Cherishing
the audacity 
To
which it will attest 
Guiding
my continuance in the moment now
I
received the moment coming after 
The moment before it
 Cherishing the audacity 
To
which it will attest 
Guiding
my continuance in the moment now
