from Oscillating Echoes
58
on the ground a ground of mirrors
rotating—
no one eloped to gather absence
—my devotion to a presence, ongoing
rose into a hovering aspect of
gaining knowledge, abrupt
antiphonies—
curtailed language
could not detail interrogated mayhem
among each reflection of supposed minutes
wearing sleeves of incense
to expose scent
as the figurine notion of senses’
specific devotion
59
your
voice
sits /patient alphabet\
|against
the neck|
a habit of isolation (_________), and my
agreement with
solace
exposes specific
markings
from
the throat’s back
a
harvest of promises, stuck, altered,
insipid
60
warm air
splayed into wide arc,
peripheral coverage, elongated
arm embrace around
summer’s facial arrangement of
language’s versatile
privilege
something angular
distrusts the common
left-margin prose of several hours’
alabaster considerations
68
to reconsider to
reinterpret song and meaning of
each chorus'
endeavor of clarifying
what hearing complicates
70
lost among fractals' blur of mentioning reason
. . . designed to require notation
to provide clues of potential whereabouts pulses
wandering from the body and wholeness
of refuge, abrupt
or the slow unfasten, an aiming, an articulate reward, found
72
solitary function this
notion of shadow hierarchy: gauge/size symbol/intuition
follows scale of the original dimensioncubed
associates with other flattened disparateness, of fables
following lead of a hopeful and subsequent
end to the prose and corporeal fascination
73
green
an evaporated miracle
shapes
shifting (mirror the shoes of a runner’s ongoing function)
a brand of sedentary
mirage
broken into freedom
yet
fract
-ioned
within the cellular nuance of unknown
predication
74
gradual lean, the shape of tomorrow’s appearance . . .
between the notion and corner of
varied streets and perspectives
each person hears and hallucinates . . .
tomorrow is a burgeon of
abstract becoming
75
by it
-self
desert, an alone
continuance of khaki tamed
in wrinkled angular
light
in
the hope a solitary growth
joins the arid participation of season and
range of moments’ deliberate functional
abstraction
