Ambitious Circle In Four
i.
seaborgium!
oh licking the excitement-
the white birds which were
frenchmen during the war
or
slavic refugees-
they tire the requiem
the bell-ringers- who stand on hilltops and rewrite fire-
latin displacement, the
modern names of scholars-
ii.
and they are poured among the couch, the symphony of coverlets on the chairs,
the thick carpet beneath while the dogs
sniff the bottoms of their shoes-
"Prometheus, right?"
it was only for the sound
of the question. that is the
way they speak. Plate tectonics
or just Plato
standing with his back towards the portrait-painter. one stands. closes the shades-
"easier to read this way"
iii.
"we've
never seen the school
where one stung his hand
deep
into damned half-lives of dangerous things-"
(perhaps
the arrangement of the
letters was a complete accident
and the awards given
were noted-
and shattered on the red-rocks
by the sea were the
similarly angry elements)
"deadly, that-"
iv.
the sea?
well only if there are loud birds. and bluffs of rocky glass
