stratigraphic

diacritical clouds

above a fault

lined trestle’s

skyless horizon,

hesitance, a hoof

brittle edg’d

resistance, as

tresspass lode’s

allure at a chasm

to gravitate anon,

stalactitic ‘twixt

reminiscence none,

as breadth, as beyond,

susurrant from

salvages of

oscitant moorages

phosphoresc ‘d,

undulance thus

as a fair well

not an owl nor hawk

but a falcon, narrow

a detail, one glove

chipp’d black ice

the edge a lagoon,

a pocket a field

of strewn corn,

sojourner crows’

familiars land

mouse print’d snow

no moat, to promise

this, to keep a well

a trench, a coat

brick-laid & moss’d,

the guest a thirst,

as a prominence

exclude a new sun

to soothen candlelight,

no less as descend

defil’d & barr’d

when a viking ship

not an empty bottle

meander, to clear

the headlands’ once

without a lance,

no bear grease in BC

the saddle slope

what time that’s lucky,

as the ash flicks

sideway to the water
