gnossienne



to wonder
in serpentine layers
plain as wallpaper

formal madness
bound in string
battered and baited

pulls winter
from station
static and distant

there hallmarks
something flat
confectionerys teeth of hunger

not much is said
waits on a new formal
an encore collapses

waits on a crowd the circle, etc.
later followed by the weather
sepia tones and vacancy
