Of the language expiration speaks
air which reaches with handless
momentums
calm as controlled aeration
paralleling soil’s mothering dynamic
prosodic venture praising child of shadow-silver recreations
the
rejuvenation
of
cylinders
the
labeling of layers
outlining existence of the pardoned extract—
whom exerts effort among paradox’s certainty of
dislocated pageantry, recalled
Of the language distance speaks
worry
sameness as death
death
the involvement of corporeal finality
suspension
within the allegory of scold
isolation
of the wholeness of physical ache,
unhealed
Of the language silence speaks
hum of mussitation of masticated verbs
multilingual absences incur focal
habilitation’s sudden withdraw then lacking
compatibility of dialects’ converging
