Lammermoore.

there are moments
each perfect
another world
of one entire and perfect chrysolite
a gig-lamp

(if we were lucky we get
one or two
of these
each lifetime)

when
someone
who likes the same book
the same page
one line
or word
in exactly the same way

because in a word are vast spaces
of light and air

we hold that moment
we are cupping stillness
