her mist of certitude.
Joy is the swell of timberlands,
where the birds of orchestra comment,
your silence sitting on stones,

over weeping, the speaker poet mentoring
the loneliest attritions of wordless song.

live sanguine the hallowed!
All by roses of doyennes I weep,
for my letterhead of aiquillete,
countersigns of orchid semaphore,
each martyred veil of lambrequin,
martlet of the church bells,
the pull of faces flagging down,
the strawberry markings of fesse point.
Scottish thistle, English rose,
Welsh daffodils and the Japanese
sun rising, markings to be felt while
sejant, letterings of aftermath,
paraph or stigma.
Dimidiates of impress foreign affections
of sigil, or as shibboleth,
the odd weeds of Turkish crescent,
and the watchword of oriflamme,
here Gillette’s differencing,
affections less to hyphenate,
wreath or bays the brassards detect.
She had brought plainchants, songs Gruss An
Aachen, flowers by the bow, col arco, Gruss An
Teplitz, hymns to my sleeves, by grace note, pauses
of retenu did not hold back, in musica ficta, nor
feeling fauxbourdon, Athene figures phrasing.
She was the white rose, The Poet’s wife, I
the Alnwick rose, in the soft postern of Tangles
and Tatjana, I could not discern either pavane nor
e’tude, past my quotients to listen, after Friesia.
I was caught by her in Sparrieshoop, in slips
of pale pink, Souv. De Mme. Leonie Viennot,
her beauty would not be assembled in asserts of one
name, not by sixth or diminished sevenths, passions
signatures, Claire Matin, Clea’s rose, garden
contents she would settle, long before the snows.
Come limber leaf, transcending winds,
widening guild prolongations branches,
acceleration intumescence of honeyed sallows,
quivering though the wicking bee, may not
be worsted from autumn’s crescent shadow.
Come laurel the high peaks, as the Zephyr
bear prestige, as the prominent ancillaries
fear the calumet will worsen, for rosy cheeks
of exaltation, drift faltered toward earthen
feet, ruins offering glad trays to nadir.
All Hastings of ribbons, sleepless spring
ambition, the desultory jaspe’ will moire to
brighten, languishment Slough of Despond,
the Eeyorish will dance again in blithe, cordial
wind convivial, dulcet comfy gentled times.
Nigh-hand from the rive, or from the cleuch,
nowhere near the cotermin, your burning of
popinque or hairbreadth. Stride the foreground
of styptic pencil or cervix of emaciation, the
coarct of the belliform child, to leave by wildfire
for Ravennagrass, the cramp of ground between
us! Never the evanescence diminutive, I was the
river, to the iota of vanishing point, growing
mountains from pedigrees of monad, purlieus
vicinage of ultramundane, the wide berth of tears
for finger widths of transpacific, sand work
for the oracles of bountiful and sovereign shores.
Near caritas, pupils of hospitality, Wisteria
Shiro-kapitan, purple raceme of confrere,
fragrant inamorata in liaisons of the weeping
willow.
Consortships of well graces, light blossoms
of soft salutations, forelocks of bowers kiss,
glad hands of fluid pergolas, tender waists
Hon-Beni.
Heigh by way the curtsies spoke, no words
of merriments fellowships told, consortiums of
anchorite, levees of maturation, convivial proximal
of insular touch.
Being as if there was a weight to the sky,
pererration, diffusion, a type of excursus
or blanch, a furtherance from the winds
of fowardal, it came without bellwether,
a gray muscularity, le pas.
I felt no transit in its shunt of step, birds
of alight did not disemplane, the flume of
rain did not debouch, waiting in the ingress,
the companionway, the adit approach, in
propylaeum, I did sense my thoughts.
Nether sun of emigre nor viaticum spoke,
will-of-the-wisps did not effuse or heather
disembogue, if there was an moment to push
the day, it would not avulse, perhaps an aside to
intermit, I by osmose returned patent, for sleep.
Lightish to the tantalum lamp I waken,
dreams to the candlestand, leave with the
paraffin butterflies of eventide, by reeds begloom
wax.
Brise-soleil the choice of the unlit eyes open,
sashes ample the veilleuse of morning, to every
filament of lamplet willows I take, will again bedim
the clads to rest.
Here then the lumen-hours, what is Fata
Morgana, which tampers, lux the earthshine of
rutilant schemes, lampyrids of timid thought,
gesticulate.
It was a wedding of two shadows,
each of the pantomimes gathered,
abiding the congregation of tones,
a fiction of leaves and a friction of ravens,
helping fable through the heavy doors.
I was there in icterous, if considering
my throne upon saffron’s challis,
mikado yellow and the middle stone,
among summer’s vernant guests of
aestival, to weavers hands infuscation,
I joined thus the deeper shoulders
embrown most somber. I would bring
rubor crimsoning melancholy, before
the moleskin gray of the water’s reflection
made grave it’s bishop’s purple quivering
stria, through the iris of Monsignor windows,
as the midnight absolved, fireflies for eyebrows
in the leery visage of facsimiles quests.
Sounder riposte to untwine the errors,
contra remonstrance, surrejoinder,
the feminine antiphon, the womanly oceans,
questing soluble measurements, free questions
of guess rights, feel endless the waves to rise,
ballon d’essai, emporia trials, the Are waters,
flounce to retort. Replies of kindred, beyond
the spoor ordeal or masculine frisk, cut or try,
the power of our waters, receipt to muscles,
reducing our gendered indagatives to fittings of
cork or cup. The heat of riddled denouement, of
fact finding sport, fails disinter even in rough
draft, the challenge of women, delve there the
heaven poke, of fear! Let then the down-stone
riddles resolve, we are coming for our peace,
on to the flagrant docimasy, thalassemias,
power, rebuttal! Cast all seed, it comes to nothing
beyond the soil! Look, the mighty rinse is free,
rush we must the hurry to tumult sod!
Laccaria Ammethystina,
Amethyst deceiver,
in the coy of temperate forests,
of the lands I walk,
caress to raise, my weight on soil.
Less the distances from capitals,
pacing seed I plant,
with my wilderness compressions,
brilliant azulene,
of Entoloma hochstetteri,
or Trametes versicolor,
lacing frocks of ladies,
Phallus indusiatus.
Receiverships of earthen milt,
the spore need not offer an argument,
for in grace the foliage plant,
in finger bowls, of orange-pink,
the lying beds of
Clavaria zollingeri,
Etain violets in the midst,
there in the pedigrams, might I persist.
Might I learn to speak as color,
by silent, violaceous impression,
or in moire patterns of light,
in the peaceful confetti of ophite,
in the tartans tessellate,
in irisation of Tyrian purple.
Here among the breathing number,
fellowmen of the parsec,
seeing the pinto of eyes,
Caelus there,
or Via Lactea,
to quietly appraise,
the hues of night medley
or dilute dun-white.
O, to bronze diversities
of auric and the verditer
to amend philamot, to that of Goya,
heartfelt minium
to naphthylamine black,
melane for ivory,
russet wounds in crocein of skin,
to lift the tea roses,
beyond lost leagues of Javelle water.
