were continuous in mantis ocean when the
vitality thunder the arrive of sky and
plait it raw-red until aligned with
shapeliness
if what you see instead resolve
a thoughtless instant of time before the circled
trees by storm’s advent or canter
with grief to the glacial whir
of gears admitted to wheels within wheels and
the moon with its heaving glance stupid
in love and topped off with bitter cups
of heaven’s calamity
