‘elemental ring, sun bells to etch earth –
the nascent hymn, lilted and floored'
as graves harrow "ave, ave" at trail’s bend – nominal
of ink – mind sews
the unending fallow & closed cage-ribs
smuggle
the esophagus to heaven – stories lain open –
she seeds amplitude of
a well traveled wind – lessons of gravity – to hear the waning
lung, spleen
this "anonymous light" of our created valency –
the erratic veins tear
