XVIII.


Spirals
appear
as the apprised
dialectic :

prison regards freedom as
applauded prose of a victim’s incessant
violation—

thus reverting
to the syllabic teachings
of elemental arranged diaphanous education
my then
sans intellectual regard for the sacred now surrounding my
intimidated structure. Perhaps my
moving north will assist the landscape into stuttering regard;
thrust
beyond rocks and pond of frozen compensation:

mirror
of inverted marble
veined with paths of swollen direction
leading eye and walking hands
whose
focal extraction builds and rebuilds
sections
of my past regard for
adumbrating future.
