The Poetry Project

Theory

Kate Colby

The world is everything
in this case—bare limbs

before day, all gray,
parts and parcel of

their own pieces, see-
through or too small

not to see around.

I looked at the sun one time,
saw the vessels of my eyes.

Can’t see
why, just so

I don’t think
as far as I know.
