Thursday the Fifteenth.

Sickly undulating valves and pipes encircle
And cull the morale of the landscape
The shatterings of the trees displayed in impossible pattern
In unlikely concordance with the ephemeral air
Am I mad to listen to the branches?

I pull wonder out of the thin air
And arrange the world so that I may see
And interpret on my terms
While the wind gently suggests a direction
And time taps his wrist
In late-afternoon and it's time to dive
Into a purple resolver, fragrant and full
In readiness to pour down a deluge of suffering
And hope, burying the mass
And thickening the air
Black spirits remake this radial plane

And somewhere
Someone
Sheds their meek tears
