Terrible inventions are these circular things
Absolute inevitable bliss
Paramount in certain kinds of enlightenment
If half-remembered venom persists
Something in the way that I turned my head
Rattled all the love to my neck
There it sat for days in anonymity
Now it has a note to be expressed
That's when all the colour turned an orchestral depth
Even magnolia flourished
Morning made a hole in the sky
Of a deep mauve gradient
Doors upon the landing were quietly shut
Pianos dropped in dissonance to their deaths
Roads and gardens bathed in a street-yellow light
Dawn laid out a hymn sheet and took a deep breath
