I believed I would be incomplete if I did not know longing
So resonant for today's consumptive chaos.
Great final line, reminds me of the Harlan Ellison title- I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.
Thank you for this. I run into far too little Mark Doty these days. An elegant talent, a humane sensibility, a clear, deep-rooted voice in a time of clashing tides. A pure bel tone in a hurricane.
"descended into
the purely physical howl of the world" - great line. love the poem.
