Appearances Slaked

Be or appear. That is
the bastion
against infamous 
ignominy, incantations,
and disharmony,
the made-fast entry
spread and sheeted
into rows of columnar
satisfiction. Medium
ochre, rapidly combined,
like turmeric, turned on
sticky logical concatenations,
to murmur curdles into 
farcical, casual causes,
effected by looks --
shaded and stared.
