Pantoum with a kick.

"1. Anaximenes and Alcmaeon say that the sun is flat, like a leaf.
2. Heraclitus says that it is bowl-like, somewhat convex.
3. The Pythagoreans the Stoics say that it is like a ball, just like the cosmos and the stars.
4. Epicurus says that all the above-mentioned shapes are possible." --Aetius

"blurred conventicle"

dusk in the suicide forest
comes with its own cast of reasons

with far · too much clarity
duck in the pool out back
where are you · when you're gone

Silencio.
