X. Trappings






How soon and how so, alleviating relapse

as if to catch again the undercurrent

as it folds between message and machine.

Sequester night, a sound dance

lent somnambulism -- walking around

with failed sleep -- the slow wheel of a darker

obscure. A polymer of sounds immurred

in steeplechase. The search angel suffers

a sea change, lately so lightly.

It's three in the morning in Troy. No mood to

staple against. Would to subjunctively

transfer speculation to empirical verdure --

quite on the fringe, canopy of blur.

Mistaken as to what gives and yet taking it

as it comes to be, becoming other than

what it gives. Arose, like any other it arose.

Arise and fall. Experience of consciousness.

Cruise toward Cretan labyrinths at a speed

that will not curtail that pile of ashes,

brimful. Otiose and underdone.
