Siren Song

Within this arriving
accumulation of the distances,
a siren's song assembles
in my ear. The promise of
an absolute
openness emptiness. Such
a foreign tongue,
usually audible
only in the depths
of the mirror. Beyond,
arriving here in my house.
The song singing itself
like some god born by
its own hands,
meaning what I know
I cannot know.
