ANGEL FALLS, ELOQUENT
Dropped
They fracture,
Crumble,
Separate seconds
From stillness.
Meteor words
Burning fast
A lever
For omens,
Simply
The gravity
Of bodies
Too heavy
With burning heart.
Golden alphabets
Spilled
Tumbling
To flagged floor.
To carve
A sigh,
A cursive line.
(Improbable
Evolution as ever).
Descent into matter.
Dissonant mutter.
Disowned stutter.
A step
Hitched,
Syncopate.
Fabric of time
Glazed pattern
Wingbeat.
World
Whorled
Whirled.
Blake,
Startled awake
Mouths
Eyeless,
A ghost
Of muscle,
Vision sinew.
