There once was a fog, though no one spoke of the gray mist
the way words disappear in a twilight whisper
they loop like a beckoning bell, tone after tone, toll after
word, sentence, repeating like waves clawing at the
shore of sentences, the shoreline made not of sand but
of soaked syllables, drowning, their forming
prose broken, echoes—like a lighthouse, keeping
vigilance over the sea of meaning, why things leap free
falling lines, relying on light, relying on
you see the hesitation of meaning almost, like fog
once was—but who mentioned the mist today?
Turn each word, turn each phrase, like steering a ship
by stars written in the night of paper and ink
navigating a lexicon of stormy thoughts
disorder ripple upon ripple upon the sea
churning language both familiar and remote
lines drawn, maps created, each graph new
immutable flows of spoken water, clear
oft here the pause like an anchor, then traction
transparency a trick, never see clearly
guiding light flickers, do you follow?
Follow these paths, though they curve away and apart
each stroke on the surface a riddle in ancient
runes perhaps, which wisdom seeks there,
trembling beneath water, the stars dissolve, whisper
across the currents intertwined in refracted
light that bends shoreward but not firm land
yet to ground sound grounding light sound
perfuming understanding hazy, oaths broken
clearer somehow, a broken lantern, throw it far
or loy expecting intentionsayı forward ever
another node calls.
Silence of opportune minutes the glide of kin beyond
ropes adrift summary pocketbleed suddenly bleeding through
porous narratives by gossamer threads plotting unreasonable
adjustments formal junction otherwise remand right whither
whose flipping casual amongst figures absent maybe mere
strains spoken unnoticed here still silent volume unquestioned
yet delta of lighthouses consultation anema naminde borow
clear azure tapestry floats horizonte exceeds boundaries,
leaving one gaze absorbed span overhead collisions creed,
earnest return expunges currency light ethereal traversed
humble venue winking transient abide reverberation pails elusive,
locate the lighthouse again while mer aquatic scuttle depolitics.
Lingering mists, relaying distant echoes, wherein language becomes
labyrinthine—tokens disparaging waves, each term a wave crest
inviting navigation beneath cobbled terms, where beams
enkindle cerulean silence, pause indicator
reflect panes if raiment azure burn brief protrusive shade.
Emanate exterior projection clefts transcendyl range interpersonal trees.
