Legalism’s Moral Sluice

Cruel construction girds for dearth
quake with propositions
fair prepositions

you must justify and make fair
the festival in your parts
the accordion

of airless organs
blue in their flowing
bloodlessness rue

those dark refractions
they do not separate lacking light
into any assemblage of color
