The Clearing

It opens itself, and I must come in. I must abstract
The kin of vision in the riot of the air, and dawdle
Little longer in its sounds or feelings so to grasp
The thought, which moves about these members:
Distension of the palpable, but hiding its intensions
In their nib -- and will I conclude I do not know
This place of passage, port of vague extensions,
Waves and colors of the light? Not that I lack
A sense of the distinction, but the sense of sense
Is flowing away in a tide which reason cannot take.
