Isolate this thought
in rooms which face north
the intuitive tessellations
reflecting what is forgotten
how the willow bends
the summer wind
the brief image
to swallow the blackness
the stalking periphery
entombing desolation
within the granite cavity
amber light
through the crow’s wing
a jade cliff at dawn
a precipice
of broken bones
beneath a road
shattered to glass
a bleeding sage
a rose thicket
cloistering the skylark’s trill
a grey moon
as distant
as a serrated bell tone’s
resonating
ambient stillness
throughout a house
a madman lies
dreaming of sleep

Fractal aspects of eternity
embedded in the moth’s wing
what must be remembered
returning to the sky
as in
the origins of rain
or bloodless fossils
lost to Neolithic oceans
now roadside detritus
an expanse of thorn fields
a mortal coil
observing the atom
here are theories
consummated
a sapphire skein
unraveling indeterminacies
on an inked wall
in an evening’s displacement
the reclusive tongue
the hierophantic alchemist
the imperceptible mountains
traced on sandstone sea cliffs
otherwise there are occurrences
unseen
through darkness
an unframed landscape
a glass coracle
floating in scoured ante-light
a reticular ash pattern
inside stone circles
the black dance
resolving the widow’s bane
the angular gaited shade tree
the non sentient
crescent moon glow
the contemplation of mute viols
the silver discs descending
the fluid womb’s dissolving
the hollowed ground’s iron will

Speak now of the sea
of fluid gods
coiled in mortal hemispheres
of worm ghosts’ burrowing
vertiginous fissures
shredded cerebral dust scars
leavings
on littering wind
on sun scorched strand
here a philosopher
structuring modernity
on the plains of St. Augustine
an untamable id
a fleabane meadow
a cutlass severing
the skylark’s wing
a rat embedded in spider silk
delicate ash glass chrysalis
blowing in alchemical breeze
blind sage on plaintive vessel
burning on iron seas
now a peasant dreams
of wingless crows
mourning the skyline ruins

Windows in a building
facing the ocean
diffuse sunlight filters
through reticular angles
clouds of raven wings
dripping condensate
on rank lawn refuse
here she thought
to count the raindrops
symmetries in isolation
a porous stone’s glaciated edge
walking the concrete berm
at season’s end
there were the uncultivated
orchid garden weeds
there were the palaces
of Hellenic grandeur
there were monads of pretense
to envision
the wheel of poverty
slowly disengaging
a life lived through
a plurality of tense
a palimpsest redacting
the vaporous fables
the past of poisoned wells
the inaudible hourglass ghosts
ebbing thru the plastic aperture
the sculptured image-essence
unbound to philosophies’ articulating
the granite tongue opiates

Perhaps
there is structure
to this resisting
assimilation
a dissolving world
defined by thought
as there is not
a continuation
or a process
envisioned
to cauterize the wound
to deny pain existing
to reanimate
the swollen rodent corpse
the philosopher’s knotted realm
the wolf which must remain
a mutable paradigm
an archetype to possess
a quintessence to abrade
the surface of change
the inarticulate speech
the wounds within
the rotted ceiling joist
the gnat consciousness
of what is
barely perceptible
as what is familiar
is
transparent
to seeing
the inverted eye
the flaccid arachnid web
the continents’ drift
across a glass bridge
a threshold to essence
a night sky
a milky bilge water
a drowned orchid root
here there is structure
to deny
death exists
