Charles Olson - The Alba

 


Love requires
talk of itself 

it's own ebullience
runs 
to its own inquiry 

Love is Love 
because it's endless 
once it has begun 
it is at once 
everywhere
it is an empiry 

Love is no object
Love is form because love
is it's own subject 
love is the only subject the rest
requires form

This is why it has been called volatile
It is not. It is simply that it is very difficult 
to believe 
that there should be one subject
in all the universe
