drum at the keel
emplacing drunk
a rite unbidden
reminiscing dee
perhaps a heavy ivory black;
on trial, but unable, failed neglect
failing to see the reason
failing to appear (as ever)
not serving when needed
weakens gradual ceases infinite
eyrie breaking down her health flailing
collapse immanent to nothing with out
certain whatever happens
making white and crystalline and salt

a deceit to finish
off the habitual visitor
valve to stone of hole
an unbound some
kernel store within
the whole seed or essential part of any thing
of the lips dark spot permanent
the region of greatest visual acuity:
spotmesh, neon, and grille

one thousand-millionth of an objectless second
recalls a thing presented to the mind
to be thrown back into history
like any of the referents
of objection.
spectra of the red
shift orange stilb,
our unit of intrinsic brightness

which colour then.
many-and-all numb
choice wins our veto
wound up fast under lowarcing
bridges hitting a penultimate syllable
the enclosured space within compounding
particles of air flashflood
to empty waive

uncoloured, unfurled
now blue cobalt
an unstable comedy
by root divination
