859 Too mortal for this frame, That boded sky so lightly, And busied once this winter tree With all-present contention-- Now--pristine feather-- Is it warranted to say, After this death, no other.

855 The haze at sundown slant Break that shape anew; The dryness and the dust-- The fucking dust in every glass-- And hell's term intercalated thus With such fine grains As richly inutile as my handed means To render death its gravity.

850 That parenthesis the shadows-- The venetian whisper Congruent to air touching light, As if a thought in brackets Tense for motion Resides in a shimmer Complicit with calculation's hidden eye.

841 If prose were possibilty The words might trickle Up To topple at one thought or two And fill a smallish cup. A simple vessel would suffice To hold a liquor odd-- Of sunlight or eternity, For toiler and a god. Intoxication with what is Unseen by daily eye Is possible's distillation-- Sensibility to descry.
