Hunting the Phoenix
Leaf through discolored manuscripts,
make sure no words
lie thirsting, bleeding
waiting for rescue. No:
old loves half-
articulated, moments forced
out of the stream of perception
to play 'statue',
and never released-
they had no blood to shed.
you must seek
the ashy nest itself
if you hope to find
charred feather, smoldering flight bones,
and a twist of singing flame
rekindling.
~ Denise Levertov,
Breathing the Water 1987
