--after Michael Brecker's Midnight Voyage
Acrobatic, a fly’s intent,
drunkard dislocation, an eye
follows, mentions. Arial
freshness, crisp fold
relays occupational findings:
shapes, invent. Near night’s
middle-timing question, answers
of moving abilities programmed
by oracle prophecies
dedicated to the wanderings’ most
celebrated vagabond’s, their wading
ankle-deep virtue, bringing them
into the bridging conceptual question,
which is the direction most intelligible
through happenstance?

inward glance, acceptable attire among sky's
skeletal beads of wardrobe magnification.
