These are not branches, this is Tree

Each of my eyes
forgets the other.
I can only hope
for the same effect
between the I plural.
The nose forgets
the nostrils.
Each dyad
done well
crops out
the memorial
multiple marks.
A sketch,
therefore,
can go
beyond scratches
to the point
of picture.
When this blend
bends the universe
to that single verse
the cosmos feels
like a single taste
of a chaste blur
to which
some people
nod.
