[[ pirouettes ]]
.
known aviary to moan its capture,
keep-in, hold
...................................close



detritus

harped strings wrought then naked
...figure’s presence in a dream
.........................briefly freed:

...........--ornate hollows, fissure-veined
... --the door, with all its squeaky astragals kerfed
.......................... --written into the eye’s
..................narrowed palpebral commissure


its slighted strain lashes spondee:
wherein tongue picks up pen,
begins its journey writing
slant of wings as foreheads
