Scrying Surface Beheld at Length

O, sick muse!

How like plans made far advanced your zeal for me wilts like winter plants

By whatever wit your arm apple fastened

You have slipped my noose

Ring red raw the rope’s scarring passion

Abusing gifts like a voucher scam, now light must ration

Greedily shed my finite light, last of oil burning the short wicked little thick

Shimmer of shook foil the wrist flick of a pent-up Jesuit brings my mother to fits 

Of tears

How verse breach years

How light the poet’s touch, as written on a peach hair;

The speech here wells tears, hovering the dauphin.
