Your fog's darkness dims

      Your fog's darkness dims my simple pin of light
      Come in at pen-point, unrolled in inky leisure,
      By black defining the whole wash of white--
      By dividing nothing taking measure
5     Of all's unhampered everything and more.
      What we are is more than prudent store
      Of facts, of events unscrolled in order,
      Sequential ticks of a circular clock
      That round on nothing's zero once again--
10    As if to begin again were to begin,
      Or to swirl a wand around undid a lock
      That never did clicker for a key.
      So your fog's a face that hangs half-lovely
      And I a lighthouse loom round its majesty.
