            —after an image by Silvia Scheibli

spiraled hole

                         holy

inverted halo functionality:

placed

                                                by wind’s strongest finger

pulsating                      push                 ing

                                         until

night’s

vocal infatuations

blur into open-door

allowances

                          —light or when light’s hanker

connects

with a watching tree’s unobserved sobbing:

this azure

zigzag’s wholly

always                                                              away from

warming hands of the holding unnoticed, their (and our)

knotted hands’ efforts

blind by which culture’s Cyclops

contains

                        origami same-size abilities, their

pluralized efforts to

erect stone

amid stillness of need

                                                            we examine what is realized

watching death by hands, unholy

meditative acronyms

in the spelling of nuanced                    understanding

                                                 each

                                                                         stare/absorbs-stares

                        wandering, an eye

recalls an institutionalized watching/waiting

spectrum, delving then into formulating tear, its sear, strong, syllabic,

broken

down

             by altering emotional content, the text in isolated versions of spoken embarrassments

not yet

wilted or

by-then written the improvised living becomes cliché

sostenuto

within hands and their lined delineation

yours, theirs, ours, thus

subjective in the carrying of closed-eye

preparedness

arms and their purpose

                         nisus

              neoteric

pulsating

    promise

                                                             pluralized

                                      personal

reactionary

to the improvised

impersonations of undulating degrees of language and

the nostalgia of learning steps in the context

of movement’s

interrelated embraces

thus

                arms

and their

pluralized purposes           pleasing if                          reciprocation is the dual method of

engage configurations

65

watching the saddened crow

             curl away from the ambition of curating calls

 the

sudden

 alteration

altered, though thematic

in the range of rage from passive indication—

silence then

                         in the alphabet of solace’s anemic call to legs’ oscillating fulcrum

—this change

rearranges realms

and their ceiling cannot reuse its dangling embrace

             watching blurs become clarity in the context of internal infatuation

*

66

recessed                                   in the acclimation of tonal time-making

                                    mysteriousness

sorted synonyms

allowing for the function of fiction to suspend conversational

controversy

resaid

pluralized

informational, insinuating rarity of percentage’s hungry greed

this watching of movement engaging

ergonomic ease of the body’s positional clarity

             similar

 to the ongoing remedies

partitions create against openness of uncomfortable delusions suspend among a

range and direct running from self in the momentum of

age’s rearranging perspective

67

light’s italicized murmurs

making softened the whispering

gold of shallow homes of hallway

shadows

                          shine-shimmering

against oscillating home of

the ants’ architectural hiding

*

68

aired whisper-rhythm

             tossing

the small of it

                                     leaping

                         land-holding

feet the walking ensues within fragile

movement of oscillating practice, this            turnstile

of seasonal becoming

mores devour truth in the contextual

calmness all mothers interact with

physical admiration

             the

lengthening of elongated-already discoveries an

altruistic laughter of praise

vibratory subsequent echoes

arching near where

running hides into safe or

satisfying ending

*

69

interrogation of silence

             causational pause the

response s

                                     fall toward                 isolated fathoms of

imagination’s

inductive range of

immanent

isolation

recreated

                         (as in the fallacies of assumptions’ predetermined facsimiles

                                                or

                                                                         within the spectrum shadows’ silver

                                     aged

                         emblems

             embalmed in the rhythm of paused configurations)

moments engage wholeness’

systematic contributions, these

organic

  railways

walked                         wandered                   all tense in the yesterday of memory

overcoming lyrical tears

there

             slide of burning contours

recalling loss

and the gregarious gain of revelation, welcomed

fingers of woolen fog                                                  its

                                                                        dangling

                                                affirmations, aerial

                        layers

natural cultural identity

                                                             reaches                                   as when

Monday’s saddened entrance

hovers onto burgeon’s

undefined happenstance

veiled though known

and

             positioned

             to uncover ease of clarity’s amalgamated complacency
