Ten to One

Pennies counted, colas founted
All the timely minds of men
will only count to ten
And beginning over once again.
Yet Seven sisters
Straight above your crown!
so lovely in their darkened crystal found-
But this is true, and plain in solar view:
Count every single tiny grain
That lies on bedrock dusty plain
within God's reach
-feeling every time-drenched beach-
Yes, count them all, then, passing thrall,
Look up again-
And multiply the relaxing eye
(know them all up in that sky)
By one to ten.
Now: finding body deep in bed
Follow where the Soul hath fled-
And counting back from ten to one,
Take one more breath and counting's done.
All the timely minds of men
will only count to ten
And beginning over once again.
