from Forms, migrating

Breathe

inward particles                       path-shove notion         needed expanse, (abstract)

                                      interpreted motional

                    freelance culture

of hands in the needing origami clear-clarity

this life of woven ceremonies cannot certainty-with mention sans celebrated

archives of what the need benefits in representational accolades

—and/or when queries exist about birth’s needed range of creative

occurrences

    what holds in

harmony of inflection’s tonal adaptations

                             to

                                       surprise later with physiology’s occurring themes

 of patterned expectations

                                                           to

engage and expand

                                      rotating clusters of mobile                 exhalations

Prevail

                   —for H. Holt

pertinent                                  this endurance

                             endures,

mimesis

quality perfect-bound echo                         variations, prose and purpose

pronouncing aliases among what

parallels mind-fiction

portending                      acclimated rituals                   design-query prominence

to gauge and

produce linguistic mathematics

                             —after effort’s summation of existence’s gilded affirmation s

of

          nuances

then/and

          promising aim toward what insinuates personal satisfaction

                                                          and when nothing can be done-more or

said enough into querying the body’s need to causational pause

we must allow

what writes freedom across the forehead

and

                   install frequent purposes

into what hold in the pocket well of permanent desire to interact with

rejuvenated control

Question

What was written into palms

the mother’s role of permissive eloquence?

who wears what hides well within the context of borderline accessibility

the child’s innocence, halved within the mirror of a rotating infatuation?

how do rivalries exclaim ambition

physicality of abridged agendas, the fade of performance through tiredness’ undulation?

interpreting paradigms

sensory illusion often awakens alphabets of tonal acceleration, landing and hiding to where moments fade or find languages of what hides and holds in percussive affirmations?

Imagining

Imitating tongue, I know their names.  And theirs.  Their

bodies, I do not ideate into instable hands.  In knowing

throats of birds—I know elaborate features.  Piano solos. 

Whatever signals name themselves, my pockets cannot contain

mouths when hidden or exposed.  Nuances of a shy oscillating singing.

Porcelain finding

I want to watch what works well.  Query that advantage

and have my hearing quadruple checked.  I’ve used

crows to draw crowds of syllables from curtain

-slide diagrams, and move into the position of unconcealed

empathy.  The pathos of wings reuses song to organize

wealth.  And when illustrated, the body is heavy, useable

at best in the painted version of an elusive figurine.
