Last night all my attention
Squinting westward at the sunset
With a map and a compass
When a man reached up, said something
"There against the sky a point of light,
Too invisible to give itself to the naked eye."
On the shore people yelling
In their eyes a great reflection
In the grid aware their position
Unconcerned with intuition
There could never be no sympathy
From that wilderness so let it be arrested
Swing lo oh Magellan
9 x 6 or 8 x 7
Post a sentinel at the border of what you attempt
What you ignore
I saw my frame in a pool of light
All drown in doubt and shame
And I knew that I had lost my sight
