Felix


(for Felix Baumgartner)


It's worth--as, i.e. in hearts--the Wains
  and circles, star-blossoms,
in time to grow into this Nietzschean

Twinscrewing worlds & my smallness, like this--
  it's done at last!
or in this Kampflatz of a life

falling like something vatic, & bursting
  across the eye

To be told everything's reducible to fear of error
  even up at the top--

god! let us begin

Thanks, guys

There's something in this that comes closest to what I've always come to see as the mythopoetic...
