shades of chaff and grain

Heavenly Bodies,
Rufino Tamayo, 1946

"Helping Verbs"

The story is told
that I was born
with a symphony of spheres
already in my ears-
if I could step out
of duality's cloud
Then I could clearly hear.
But it's here
I am snared.
Ebbing in an oz. of care,
stuck on the furrow,
running off of an era
that I and You and We
have has had
do does did
be am is are
was were
been being
can could
shall should
will would
may might must
live.
