blog (n.) “online journal,” 1998, short for weblog (attested from 1993, in the sense “file containing a detailed record of each request received by a web server”), from (World Wide) Web (n.) + logos (n.), Ancient Greek for “word, speech, discourse, account, ratio, reason, understanding”.*

The Logos is alive, a garden too.
A blog is not alive. It is, at times,
unfinished artifact.

a blog is a corpse
with connectivity.

The time and place

The time and place
of a blog is,

as if,
               not here,

Then where? Chicks hunger. As a family
of elsewhere-dwellers, scavenged absence is
the flavor of their nutriment. They keep
their bodies close to Grace, and Grace makes place
of wayward-turning, gathering to breast:

(What we desire,
            the shape of Adam.
What we fear,
            the shape of Adam.
What we would share,
            the shape of Adam.
What we would be,
            ecstatic automatic.)

Deep earth listens through thrum of Polaris,
impregnable flame seals at southern crux.
Burgundy rivers into sunset cup
cascade, return as easterly promise
of flight, and summon orphans back,

from rosy graves, whence armies form, of light.

*The “real”/recorded etymology, which this is not, is interesting, and if you don’t already know, you might like to read about it. The word comes by way of a ship’s log, so-called based on a nautical technique of using a floating piece of wood to measure the speed of a ship.
