IN ANCIENT CHARGE
Charged up by the daily fury.
No dice if there is not another
spirit or play or bodily form
outpacing desire. Notions of wealth
come and go, artillery and engines
bought & sold for war or traffic
on the byways and cobblestone streets.
No way back to re-do each shot
at what she was: Sturdy and excited
to be in arms that held sway
in the overcrowded storms of feeling.
What juice we had in those days!
What fecundity, what workmanlike
innocence dawning now in memory

Ah, yes. To have something still outpacing desire to keep the juices flowing or, at this point, at least dripping. It does seem that at times the "something' is a memory that still outpaces desire. Gee whiz.
