Aspiring glance bound force array
turns of glass how
charged by reflection
to travel quick toward undone
singular stroke
syntax unanchored
to recognize blur
notes on a scaffold metonymy’s grace
to alter narrative adjacent to cause
ripple
close-up fracture ream patch flare
mineral strata
under skin
shade
forged by a figure of day
ragged impediment to horizon’s door
the lewd sun’s encrypted ease risen over sand
bony sky adrift
vertigo meaning invention’s wound and peel
the transitive eye insight to insight now
hinged open
foray begun.

How? to ask how
persuasion begets
material inventory you sample you measure your
phase within passion locale
without gate rift exit breach
lesion map faces
a matrix of leavings
cycle of flaws attached to the possible
attached to transit
the body present the chance remark
intimate answer
quotidian care.

Meanwhiles
fluttering wingnote fl fl fl
grasp the instant’s sleeve
add looking at through
trace imperatives at arm’s length
or form
a beleaguered architecture
wall field edge micro-scale
rivets windy doubt
fragment one
enters presently
a ground of objects
latent in underbrush among strangers in the roaming view
hope’s radiant knot tied in fabric
ordinarily an interior well
response to response
a secular gift
a labor of hours.
