I of Storms

O speakest I the eye of storms

Such storms of leaves and ink

Beneath the trickles, veins, and blood

There sleeps a lurid drink

Thou frantic branches, brittle bones

Which thirsts and grasps at things unknown

For proof that you stand not alone

And flee the swelling swarm

O weakest I the eye of storms

Such storms of light and dark

Within the numbers, codes, anon

There rests an empty lark

Thou tapping mazes, sour praise

Still wishing for those paper days

Not saving windows from the haze

And swell the fleeting swarm

O bleakest I the eye of storms

Such storms of breath and flesh

Without the mirror, shift, or sound

The I's cannot refresh

Thou vacuous occupancy

Thou feathers plummet to the sea

O sink and perish with no plea

And kill the I of storms
