"Grace" by Rae Armantrout


                GRACE

I

a spring there
where his entry must be made

signals him on

2

the sentence
                     flies

isn't turned to salt
no stuttering

3

I am walking

covey in sudden flight

TJB: Enigma-poetics, like fragments of Heraclitus; the new sentence as Lot, not looking back. How does grace relate to each part—because it flies?
