     Abbreviated spectrums
  of wind and its holding
    hollow acclimations.  Colors
 continue           contain what the
       eye donates in sound and
   evolved ornamentations.  What
      is brief now is a diverted
         emblem of sophisticated
            silhouettes              teeming 
  toward evaluated seizing
    of serial contours, selected 
                 by breaking first
        what was whole in name and
              corporeal fascinations

      How this holds
   thematic
 water      as does the moth
            unfolding angles
      into light and
         broken mathematics—

  hands, alone are
 what miracles breed
      within an unexpected vantage—

                certain serial rhythms
          reveal unopened diagrams of
              sound and language
                        abstractions,

    bridging home with exterior
  etchings                    reviving what
         inherits uncertain
      altruistic
                                euphony

  Dual melodies.  Mirrored decisions.
   Unknown these surfaces, aesthetic
  accolades fading into freed
       versions of decisive alt
      -erations.  Mobile these
    divided emblems: two bodies
   broken from a diameter’s
      predetermined definitions... separated
     focuses finding clear
        content, woven interior
       from voices fading and
      determined semblances of
          oscillating momentums

    Cycling math
  recycled
        meander this
     tone-on tune-in inward hollow theme


   searches as do I toward
 a healing version of Music’s contextual identity.

     More so my own nuances
    cycle into rhythms and uncertain or
       broken cadences.  Trust, here, is
     what needs both blessing and my
          most intuitive expressive
      devotion.  Behind the sound is an
          inventive tone or unbiased
        record of a historical dialect; I’ve 
     dialogued enough with _____ unwilling
    to infuriate an exterior
       motivated disdain for 
      societal devotion toward
            a behavior of isolating
         succinct vitriolic phrases

 Composure hears our predetermined
   freedoms, our forays inward first
 then exterior to sound and
      introverted foundation.  Either
    home is rhythm
                      or
           its walls speak in tonal
        routines
         awakening as when
               the body becomes
             other than the expected,

architectural platitude
