3 Tomlinson Court Park

The shabby tenements offer
Their supreme ugliness and complete poverty,
Squalid and absolute.
Turning into rigid forms, 
Black fire escapes
Climb to the highest window.
We begin anew the discovery of the body.
This is the neighborhood of zero,
The ending of every relation,
A black hole formed by the collapse of love,
A triumph of the Minotaur.
Aggression predominates:
The pattern has no limits and subdues all space,
Yet another conclusion,
Unspoken experiences
Hidden openly in visible designs,
An order--on the point of breaking--
To exclude the furies,
The most beauty possible.
