darling thinks a spectacle
of murdered shapes on the table
and a violin of scissors
relating an autumn collage
and tells them "no breakage,
no way to let the present splinter.
just keep it continuous
keep it feeble"
but her notion is something more.
and a ceiling fan keeps
time like an arrythmic heart.
i trust it completely.
at least for these copper hours
that are always diminished
it is only enough.
