Counting Snowflakes




















TEN AND TWENTY

            for R.S.

All numbers mystical
until they reach the beyond
and make no sense.
A book on
poetry of numbers
years ago when I was somebody
else, before I
was me serious,
beautiful book
placing the poet
one with the poets
and I ruled it out
because I thought
at the time
while it was true
I wasn’t balanced
it didn’t get to the 10 or 20
in my wallet
I still thought money was money
