Steady my uncertain circulation O aimless carrier of respiration Jewels on a lash, all exists in reserve Parallel paths yield a parallel curve
The hiss of a smoke cherry sizzled in snow Is a stale tone to break every quake in the rose Tear-water tea & speaker-sighed prose A howl of furnace breath to curl the toes
Pick me up & brush me off Splinter, cluster, & vapor Stung by the pace of constancy loss In glint, in dust, on paper
