In place, but not in place.
What word Wednesday
when its Mercredi,
or not Thursday,
when in Kabbalistic twitch
or synaptic stutter,
it is day's wen,
the week's flat
middling blot
neither poem nor plot?
Not in time, but in time.
What word, what etiology
of Wednesday, Woden, Mercury?
Befuddled in theology,
keelbone to the week's wings.
