Long-incumbent one, you’ve felt the back of me, the blush,
the cool and mute refusals:
often hollow.
Once you put your arms around me, lifted me and shook.
Had you ever heard a scanter rattle?
Lay me down, a lullaby. A spectral velvet yes ~
If you hear clairvoyantly,
you’ll see:
In sleep
a cosmologic music
works its way, like inkling. The ring of it
reverberates in day ~
Still it’s hard to hear the subtle differences in timbre,
with all the hiss and hue of
waking thinking.
