Month: October 2022

’BEVEL out stone’s jagged edge’-thought which perhaps
BEGAT art’s momentum, smoothing sharpness from the hunt to other use.
BRAIN stitching connections beyond subsistence:
EARTH a stage, a mirror, a canvas, a manifold of signs.

AGENT in place, sembling normal life, chameleon morphed to background,
SNAKY intentions slumbering, no sly arguments about good and evil,
FRILLs of markets instead, keeping up with the Joneses on gadgets and cars.
BLEAT on, those fools around him. Agent waits and hides grim smile.

SLUNK through grimy alleys into warehouse,
GOLEM still in crate, me seeking words, drafting words,
PAPER strewn with Hebrew–which the word of waking?
DIZZY sense: I am one syllable off and so clay will not shift.
