In the latent vernacular
and trespass
of mind-breaths spanning space-time,
crystallized as rapt intimacies
and wax seal
giving the dreaming-voice
its human due
and proof of residence,
we scratch in lost measure–
I Wuz Here–
followed by the fading tracks
of diminishing returns
within a poem’s ghostly domain
and fathomless fall.
