psithurism's hands, lengthened
portending jazz in/on the wing of a moment's
elongated fathom:
silence becoming
staccato, searing cadence
inward then
the exhale burns a breathing
letter, altered into
plural as the pleasure
respells noon's navigating
interpretation, watching shadows;
kneeling, as with faith, the darkness
echoes outward, tapering into fade
and the gradating meaning within
an hour's algorithmic perception
this elder canoe, abandoned
its
sound (ache) swollen in
the fraction
of its fractured
symmetry
:
how many bodies carried a laughter here?—
young, when young
which directional hand held
the smooth belly of its mobile spectrums?— designed
outward curiosities amid the search for
delivered seasons?
in wondering
wander entrusts imagination's focal
dexterity
recreating purpose of the aged absolute, its body
broken
yet
building toward use of the eyes' multilingual hands
various techniques of
communicatory revelations:
birds etch to be abstracted
their
woven wandering
wears angles of augmented thread as reflectional
weather mirrors intentional warmth
or
in the cold of winter's adhering temperament—
differences sing or live in the quietude of recovery, these
voices aren't the weary tiredness of late night fumbling
of fundamental rest—
as minutes divorce their
intimacy speaks a local
legend's tongue
tinged within the singeing
agonies of yen's automatic
hanker
each ending of existential hardness
fondles the body's first impression of
sound (say in the whisper of a garden's
scented growth) leading thickness of things to
land of the mimesis of these birds' alphabetic
absence
