Remaining collected, formed
phratry by chance’s organic
analytical arrays:
 
either father-mother, too of
the vice versa analogy does
portend future-mentalities,
coded by colors of DNA’s
 
origami remains following
the child’s premise of textured
motivations.  Whole as
dusk’s circled silvered silhouette,
the hanging cold pretends as does
a shadow’s silent plateau to
 
remind and suspend judgment’s
ornamental recoveries.  Many percussions
pound into wilted retreats never
or long-ago recollected:
 
staged kaleidoscope of improper
dialogue gauges into woven overwhelm
the certain togetherness reclaims symphony
of ceremonial respects.

August of 10’s (days|3; waters|assuaging thirst; wisdom|vantage unobstructed),
                                    crossed
recovery
                        vacant span the compass misnamed—
 
dialoguing earth by numerical aspects of a language’s visceral
 
delineation—
 
seasonal, see?  edge of wind reclaims smoke of a mirror’s misinforming fooling:
 
September falls amid

victim of cotton warmth
enveloping necks of those darkened lineations’ accurate mischief
 
hiding as conduct within room of a child’s
 
veracious roguery.

Secondary visits
pertain step-parent validity, pardon the
 
excessive gap prior to the between understanding of birth
 
 
                                                                                    /

quarter-length (perhaps distant otherness requirement delicate persuasion to a mind’s
                        chaotic crossings, deliberate blackened halls)
 
regaining later then whole as a visitor’s later acclimation
burdened by the bridged fascination of unDNA collaboration of
namename                   against version of prior’s reflectional
manifest
understanding.

Gifts become broken emblems
reciting tears’ furrowed burgeon
 
                                                                                    away
from the ornamental indentation of
physiognomy’s various
sacred volumes.

The pigeon represents analytical diversions.
 
Of the purple patch
outlining bend of oscillating cervix—
 
bouncing tonal language from the gradating grays of wings and
abdomen’s alabaster clarity:
 
                                                toward silent feet whose
clutch of motivated mimesis, mother’s
frail cultivation of tired motivation
 
clues of savor toward branch and gnarled exterior coalesce.
