Think to Know

By Mara Lemanis

 

At the stroke

of a clock

in heaven

or

the cosmos

I hold

the minutes

in my hand

they cling

like tree frogs

as I listen

to the mind

of time

and strain

to know

what thoughts

 come from

the cosmos

in the folds

of heaven

those thoughts

my body

 thinks

I know

without appeal

but what

the clock

struck

my mind

heard

and felt

but could not

think 

to know
