A Start

Start from the outcome's first desire,
now about-face. Go where the jugular
diced like a worm in effective pieces,
places your fingers just so:

how faintly felt, how nervous capsule
bleeps like a star ought to exist,
then sequences like fungus
choir through my valley unrestrained.

--from the poem "The Star's Predicament" by John Wilkinson
