But
“Everything but sleep.”
—Li-Young
Lee
And night is the momentum
of halting light’s music.
Acrobatic
angles
of the humming
-bird’s relevant vanish
spelling
disappearance
as well as noon’s oscillating
hiding.
Dusk
recalls a memory of hybrid fascinations
: penultimate hour prior to the weight bearing model of
rest’s diligent coming
- loneliness to an incessant desire, to the brokenness
tiredness resembles within a mirror’s relocating accuracy.
When singing silences.
A darkened contour
a small circle under
the eye of distance’s
braiding bodies.
Found burning, synonyms.
Using alternate species
cannot overwhelm
into breathing accentuated
nuances. Always.
Embers
thickened,
calling smoke into dance, an
alphabetic
purpose
spelling
delay as joy. In
this company
of
halos
elegies
transform
permanence
permeating
the body’s
pertinent
condition.
Winter
Bones falling into hands
lose the prior
priority of angled
assessment, agreeable
articulation of conformation.
Movement. Warmth. Pastel.
Newness bends and becomes
a brand of compressed alteration
of spatial synonyms.
The body reveals
an ownership of air’s
reconstruction of portending
guesses, what will
arrive
on a timeline of numerical
decency. Ballads
sing a softened nuance
into listening’s momentum
of finding safe to
predict this
home’s interpretation of
winter.
