O Pendulum of the Years
unravel this
[wrecked, tangled
Tell stories of crystalline
infinities !!!
[wrought iron and canvasses. Investigators
Could you pray for us & our
dirigible souls
[it happened all of a sudden,”
The storm rises rattling
Suddenness sounds
[of any bodies.

Plummeting shipwreck of air
Atlantic crash
[they were led
Like a crystal ruminant
Shattering light
[rigid, semi-rigid and non-rigid
Thunderclaps on the breakers
Spectres aflame
[over 1,000 feet Imperial. Goldbeater’s skin
Could you come to our aid You
Oxygen all
[inert.

The Sound of Trying to Remember 
They took the verse... and translated its grief into a new alphabet.
