CRIED havoc for Empire, future dogs of war slipped loose,
MACRO level unseen, supremacy’s haughty
ARMOR blocking sight beyond the now. So:
SHEIKs wooed, discarded like engine parts for moments of ambition, no true destination in view.

PANIC in Emperor’s guard;
METAL bars sawed through,
AGATE disc, reverenced cosmic
MODEL: gone. The earth trembles.

VINYL hoard, worn and crackly, songs of generations past,
DOWDY house’s ornament slipped through time to dated,
STEINway unplayed, yellowed sheets mid score on stand,
PANELed library guarding books known to a mind departed.

LOSER, each? Bound for dirt or drift away as ash,
ALLOTed four score of striving, loving, hating, only for names to fade. No!
FIXER, recreator, comes to grant the win,
SPARK back into us all we were meant to be; eyes will open to undimmed beauty.

CELLO sounds out from the fence line.
SHADE abandoned, horses draw near, cease
CAPERing, become rapt audience! Next:
PIANO. How to get it to the paddock?

MANIA slides phlegmatic him outside habit’s stable course:
SALTY sea dog now fluent in choler’s rant, tailing into
PHASE of sanguine bold exertion before
SWOON, then awakening to new melancholy knowledge: we live and move in shifting substrate

SHIRK abstraction. Celebrate, say,
GUAVA, a concrete fruit. Green, verruca’ed, yet it sweetly blends.
OPINE? No, leave tedium of punditry for others.
FABLEd zero sums sum life without living water.

ANODE whence power flowed: speech, divine
AUDIO, sounding out the Let there be!, giving birth to stars, skies, earth, trees, and humankind.
CHASM bridged, maker to made, speaker to hearers drawing breath and hearing words—words by which all
BEGAN.
