Another masterpiece! I'm new to Joseph's poetry and am so glad to have found his work. I read this poem after "suffocating" for a couple of hours in the Southeast Texas heat doing yard work--a very nice reward :) I was going to note my favorite lines here, but realized that I would be quoting most of the poem. I have to say, though, that "voice flowering beyond the brain" is brilliant!
Magnificent
