All But Glandularly


 
Transcendentalism recommended light –
opining that aligning with it was our right: that
there’s a kind of all but glandularly openhanded

underhanded understanding looming in the Universe --
grander than the reticence in woman or in man –
spanning and expanding without any irritable thought

to every motive, notion, source and outcome --
ocean, bird and tree – not to mention you and me:
nothing fraught, left out, or banned. But ah! –

some unforeseen thing seeps into the sea, another
creeps beneath the bark. Not everything is sung
by some celestial lark. There’s also dark.
