Finding a diction for Lazarus

Specifics

and their assortments --

*

Words made-up to say --

Not a new word in the lot

*

Phrasing your dog

What's he doing making so much sense?

*

How do you come by having something

that was not meant for you?

Conjured by the illustrative aspect of mechanics

*

Thought as given --

America goes by in trucks

*

The act

and implications

of the glyph

The purpose and mode of inscription

*

The dry season is six months long

Slow growth provides a denser grain

*

Every POV has its ardors --

A deep breath for the rest of the morning

*

Someone else's mode of discourse

availing itself of my referents

*

A preoccupied distraction --

like the rain

*

What remains is the expectation

of recorded judgement --

Sketches of every stone from every fragment

of standing wall --

Inscriptions and partial letters

Mosaics and squares of painted plaster

*

In deference to no distinction

*

EORDER

Please allow me to test the limits

of your personal sense of privacy

-- your sense of power and modesty

Your eyes are too red

your lips too thin

*

A consuming elaboration of events --

The lexical level of access secondarily aware

tho undiminished by any acquisitive process

*

Bring me a GREEN

with some BLUE in it

*

Blue is the only one of warmth's devices

*

One bloodline reacts very differently

to the loss of a yellow cat than another

Yellow and green

Yellow . . . green

Blue and green

Blue the measure of this green

*

The determinants still purely lexical

-- and pulling faces

*

The illusion of the sustained

and liminal

*

No thriftier sensation than thought --

unencumbered by its affections

or predictable conventions

Something cultivated in what was put back
