All is a mutable feast,
a panoply and paragon of lore
and dropped beats,
of here, and not here, all at once—
effect upon the cause
are the visionary takes of the radiant children,
sampling source-feed from stunning slates of Braille—
supple to the touch,
they, the children of the moon,
bear and intuit seeds of revolutions within,
baring to the light
imperishable blooms
of seasons beyond
fearful recall, or steely grip—
they pray we enter
and shed softly
through the calling
of metamorphic climes
and Orphic descent.
