Made of Nothing

A tangent higher than high left her the Earth behind
Lower than low made of nothing
Of the wrestle’s favour swiftlight formed and framed her
But the image fell, hit a chair and lost its head

Not out of intelligence or any particle of ability
Only of a fire’s flame a child caught up and betrothed
One of no account, too deep by eons and below all man’s sutured sight
The far fetched light the stuff of little babes cast out  

The life they breathe there it is very thin   
Intensely saying though it seem as nothing
Out of Zion’s gates she’d fled no more hampered by chain or fetter
No favoured letter there nothing fair would cling

All her former goodly things as rags, they could not fester there 
Torn and stripped away, her things were now of nothing made
All see-throughish as a breath of air, where they touch there the core of fire
Only real working wonders really meet our deepest needs 
And fuse the broken wire
