The Mulai.

"Uber-chic phrase: 'seraphic cherub'."

—Anthony Etherin

Colom at Medgar Evers' house.

"Trumpiana Deadnamed"

evaporated labyrinth
still carries...carillon
as if beacon barking
because because—gauzerip—
foam tracery, runes fissile
affordance stooge-tragic
& this old song, angular-
cursive, still hurls us

through deepspace chill, chipmunk
channelled, mask of gaskets
& i should pick patterns
apart from ruse-newsreels
should wise up, in warrens
of hunkerdown, worn ductwork
but this old song saddens
with its sorry-ass lyrics

that lostness i know, nestled
next to, as wars torsioned
the whole hapless sepulchre
nor did all of us heal from
& the drab iconic drachmas
adroitly coined witness
for an old song's hover
in the arduous remaining

evaporated labyrinth
