BOX 10 (lyric)
a mist (his suffering) a theme and lacking closure like the tick and spin
of sprinklers on the lawn list-list-list, they hiss lacking variation the spin
of suffering: a drift dive downward (like a leaf) through sleep, through waking
a theme and variations the tick and spin of days (items on a list) drift lines,
tide lines (the tick of leaves) asleep, awake: the drift of closure the day a mist
BOX 11 (iridescence)
the heart
measured in rhythms (as seasons) (or a sentence): "when wedged
in weeds, a wood duck sleeps" or: "any object's shape is two opposing forces
balanced" or: "the heart, when balanced between two opposing forces, sleeps"
or: seasons shape the wood duck's rhythms" or: "balance wedged two opposing
shapes into a sentence" as: "the heart's object is sentenced to a measure"
BOX 12 (iridescence, contd.)
and: “forces wedge opposing rhythms in the heart” or: “in weeds, an object’s
shape is measured in its rhythms” or: “the heart objects when rhythms
sleep” or: “wood ducks measure a season’s forces as they sleep” or: “weeds
shape, in rhythm, two opposing forces” or: “the heart’s force is measured in
a sentence” as: “opposed in a sentence, rhythms wedge the heart into a shape”
