                       &c.             dream, no, not that rendition

of an eye’s persuasive stammer, collecting
behind curtained control
                               various tableaus of marginal realism;
persona

relinquish whole the body’s role
releasing extracted mentions of a meandering hankering:

thrust, trust, reevaluate darkened emblem of misleading wholeness,

myopic dispositional frequency          pardoning extracts of an hour’s
reconstructed meaning

Profile of the perched
                               the
                                               sedentary example,
wing-deliberate
                                               stilled-emphatic
multilingual mutation
gradated empirical arc
       with

bridge of ascent discovered             esoteric                silk in
dusk’s corporeal shading

reversal of burn this
trust of skeletal grams

oscillating against a charcoal soundness’               comprehensible
absence.
