Physic

Litanies as merciless dividers
Pearly rain protectors & providers
Oh at land the eye becomes the author
Tenses drift & one outlasts the other

My dear i'm new at this & i'll still be when i'm through with it
So now i'm done for; what had i begun for?

Gusty blows to hold or loose an arrow
Nerves at odds in proprietary peril
Husk & soot to spread amid the myrtle
Rituals reset to feed the fertile

Bleed dry the finite to suffer what we stole to whistle
Barrier & bottle & pinprick of parted hair bristle
Moonlight is in tow, shimmered in tidal decorum
Faded & mottled, lacking source or static form
