ganom The oresea of man has no wing but ground Yet we have been taken by the wind Blind like bats in light It has taken us to the glory away from out own No poison here As the wind does not tempt Rather it sings the loudly listen to our exit And in confession it is correct Blind as bats in Light The wind does not tempt yet it gives attention to our exits

A typed poem headed "ganom" imagines man as wingless and grounded, then turns to wind, bats in light, glory, poison, temptation, confession, and a handwritten revision about attention to exits.

The page is visibly revised, with typed lines and handwritten correction competing across the stationery. Wind becomes the central force: it carries, refuses temptation, sings, and finally gives attention to exits.

The fragment sets grounded humanity against wind, light, bats, temptation, confession, and exit, with a handwritten revision restating the wind's refusal to tempt and its attention to exits.

The page reads as an actively revised meditation on movement and escape. Its strange source diction and crossed markings matter because they show the poem searching for the right relation between wind, temptation, and departure.
