It's decided: faith abhors rationality
but the latter depends on its former;
stop, appear to be liquid concrete,
rest until sided walks
carry editorial hardness
from initial to final,
cracked up idiom to be.
Lose, leave,
thus ethereal-
an annual procedure with
perennial characteristics.
Love and gardening season
summer with a midnight
expectation: moonsight
is a refraction
of all that makes more digress.
Cantankerousness is a seed
and blossoms are mature.
Blank cares and sheets of
tapered minnow swim
upriver on a shiver-
a care in the glare
of one day's light
and another morning's
night.
Quicksilver is slow to
know that hat liners
lead alchemists to articulate-
gold fibers are made
by imminent preeminent
dearth; lack cut from slack
as the nothing says:
no thing can pass
without rippling ponds
from lily to flower to steel.
