because of this tryst work
vapour condenses
and as such is mirrored,
perhaps bereft
(can your river really flow at such an angle)
manacles
wordlees under
this glass system
feels full
a bitter timing for this thought
a bed for projectiles

scoring deep
in a fastness
punched whole in memory,
a promissory deliverance from tongue.

stacked pebbles on a lairstone
layer upon lairwit
clustering universals
seeded, flawed, shell-less
here to placate,
a going and so on.

more fires at the poles
of two magnetized halves,
merely an onion, still
