***************


A rough air of penetrating allowances
what's not foretold beyond or other

in the mind has no play itself, but
folds aside from latent preoccupations

at inert designations, you are not
along but sentenced into grammar.


Hits to stay aloft but not without memory
in your other countries allocations are
made again, where smooth air recalls
sense is another mode of forgiveness.

What made a day busier than unoccupied
presences are not allowed beyond the door
at color spent in the regulations
or noticed at all in the rhythms again.

I'd loitered here and there, losing
the rough edge of doubt, at something
spin the outer definitions are color, too
but magnificent enough for decoration.

What cluttered
buying time from
assessed
longing again
your own resigns

Skips unassisted remnants are polled
from what's not essential, but plied
coats are left within, all together.

Your own
angular sorrow, motored
lines are swept away, not against, or other.
