The Bible mentions a burning bush amidst its languorous story hour. Being a book, The Bible prefigures time and space just as do you in your varied blurring. The biblical Burning Bush had an angel inside and the god deity also, or something like that, however you want to picture that. And this phenomenon spurred something in the eyes of Moses tending Jethro's flocks. Just read how words can reside where they are. This story relates somehow to euonymous alatus arriving from Asia, just another wandering, decorative, invasive hobo. The plant's flower barely makes impression, don't worry about that. As a shrub it remains dispirited in its plodding enchantment. Being thus a sensation, it opens your eyes. In Fall, when your eyelids have fully risen, the burning bush foliage reveals the scarlet of its secret. Well, messages appear everywhere concerning time and death and other vague associations. The Bible has been trouble enough with its handles but bolts of red in your Autumn eye must mean something. A morning fog burns off in the growing day. You have flown this far: keep flying.
The work becomes chiding of sunlight. The work is elegy and shaded. The principle ciphers as a god, in the way transience is purpose. Transience works this brief, ending fields, making trees concern. The hell of halting midway identifies the work of burning thru. Forever makes a sign. Sign makes worthy. Indeed the tramp of feet forward concludes any sentences but suggests more. Long sentences, stupid words. The caroling heard by Dante, brilliantine remorse for a better tide. The long road up from down, and turned around. The work then becomes the work now, as stained glass similitude. Anxious in the class structure of catastrophe, the baying song over all. Nothing to do but be done. Ruskin gave you papers to remind you. Slow battering concedes the earth in time. Time being functional and oblique. The worker inside sees the nation by exhalation. Transitive connection sports of culture. The class that ends becomes the class that begins, both left and right.
