on a wide-angle, agate sky
twilight shorts a fuse

cascara and liquidambar sputter
a pirate copied patois
in sequences of non sequitur
and inter-
rrupted inter-
rrupting shortwave intimacy

as the body and everything in and with-
out

(the lungs and their geodesic revisions
eyes developing thermal photos
high speed video-
stream
heart like a glass of chinon in the cochineal sun)

are seen as one sees
a hole
in a halogen lamp

fission and mute poly-
phony
each particle shearing to panicle

in the language / of the lifting up / and letting fall / of language

a cadastral map of the calyx

live weather on a live wire
virtual rainbow in real time

pelling off a rickety bridge
with raw silk rope and mercury

traces a name driven south south

as it ruses as it rises

and to stand beneath the loges
of the cloister carved of calc-

at the introit and the end
of what has none

field recordings and micro-

of a world / in front of the / world behind / the world

a sheriff wind
turning the teeth
of turbines along the ridge
