Come to brink of words
hear everything fragment:
syllables waltz in content,
concepts squabble, pert birds.

Could be borders of anew -
tongues re-clothing in fire;
thought-shapes snagged on wire;
dew-bleeds black and blue.

Stopped feeling sorry. You.
Hard moves, thus-severing.
Lifelines segmented entire,

the dear matter of recalling -
grammar for self-strung lyre,
bedevilling, appalling.
