Remove loss:

i lay in second dream athwart the dawn
and in that perfect blank attained my pearl
then i, awakened by a useless call,
lost use & uses, never to return

things that i never had: one more, a future;
cloudy this morn's commute, as the music peals
& skeeter-borne despairs from stagnant pools
visit each helpless creature.

Too much depends on whether i take a lane
arriving at the ruddy & wistful lights
that see me as i am, whose yielding freights
passage with blurred election, down the line.

The tutelary mandylion

i learn these mazes another way than names
