Glitch

i

the task
              decant
without glitch
                            of the unapprahended
of the
              ‘will fill this later’


ii

hitch an idea
about which it will cast its own light
autumn scenario
the clinging dropped blackberry branch

or, ashlar aloft in the darkness
agleam before purple curtains, clearly remembered


iii

somewhat like the cakeslice
through icing
              the ancient tramway

behind and above the bracken
the sunset,        pink


iv

Nous or nouse?
I see in my mind’s-eye
a cow’s eye
