The Bottom of the Stack

 

illness emblems were
cut out of clutches

one illness emblem
was
Crinoline —

was
this sleeplessness —

was
this Lilac —

this kind of news comes at the bottom of the stack

"O I love top sport, with ambition!"

quote from you, only other of Steadily Looking-Glass,
you away, up, carried mountains... success!

REVEALED means EVENT:
a lucky sign, Perturbing Cypress, was also
cut out of clutches / a splendid loss of crutches
