Brevity, a sonnet sequence.

"The dawn is not off the sea, and Odysseus’ ships
have not yet passed the islands. I must watch them still."

—D H Lawrence via

Big Borges.

unskull grin · the scarcest window
      days of vast
   disaster sprawl
focus on tiny · tenable sprig
the tires soft · for a road full of edges
      flowing tongs
   to string tinsel
thousand year old clock · clicks out throngs
i await word · scribbled over
      tailfins swarm
   in bright guesswork

The Gallop.
