Renunciation'is A Piercing Virtue

745

Renunciation-is a piercing Virtue-
The letting go
A Presence-for an Expectation-
Not now-
The putting out of Eyes-
Just Sunrise-
Lest Day-
Day's Great Progenitor-
Outvie
Renunciation-is the Choosing
Against itself-
Itself to justify
Unto itself-
When larger function-
Make that appear-
Smaller-that Covered Vision-Here-
